High spirited with a smile
That shone as bright as the
Sunshine bursting from the skies.
Her steps were quick
But she paused long enough
To throw a coin,
In the pool of water in her path
This is her make believe wishing well.
"What a lovely day"
She called out in a cheerful, melodious voice.
Caring not, who stared at her quirky behavior.
She rocked to the beat of the music
Blaring in her ears,
Blaring in her ears,
The deafening sound was no bother.
She beckoned and nodded
To those who looked her way
"Join me she shouted"
"Recharge your spirits"
As she cantered along.
There, joining her was a line of
Believers, Hopefuls, Crusaders,Joyful Souls.
She looked back and her face lit up
"That's the power of a smile"
As she skipped and bounced,
Leading the way,in a cheerful voice
She and her followers sang
To their hearts content
To their hearts content
"Oh wonderful and glorious world
I will always embrace you."
