A Song

Managing stress is easier 
with a song, a hope 
and a smile.

I tried it the other way -
and I found that of the 
two roads diverging,
the one bright and cheery
trumped the ill-tempered 
victim's road.

"Whoa is me," isn't half 
the refrain of "Let me
make you smile."

How fun to see you 
laugh! Contagious,
of course. Twice the fun
of bemoaning my poor 
condition. And perhaps,

just perhaps, it all began
because of a silly little song
in the blinding 5:00 AM light 
of the kitchen. Hummed, sung
under my breath. 

It made all the difference.
