I awoke with a smile
all merry and bright
my face was a gleaming
my spirit alight
The kids are so awnry
they yell and they scream
But nothing could dampen my spirits
or so, it did seem
Clean up the clutter
and blankets, I did
then to the radio I went
pushed that button (just like a kid)
That radio lit up
like the lights on a tree
but no sound did come out
how could this be?
No music to fill my day with song?
No music to which I could sing along?
my smile, the one that would not go away
it happened, my smile, did go astray
(to be continued....)
