Capricious

Happiness….welcome to my heart I’ve been waiting for your visit For so long!!!! But…just tell me one thing… My esteemed guest Why are you so capricious? I thought that we’d made a pact You were to visit me Often And I was to make you comfortable In my home But….you ARE flighty And unpredictable Coming at odd hours When you are least expected But when I’ve prepared to welcome you With open arms Strangely….you stay away! Never mind… No time for this chatter now I need to celebrate this time Now While you are warm by the fire And smiling at me I will celebrate each moment of this visit And keep my eyes fully on your face For if I turn around… Even for a moment… You might slip out the door And leave me wondering When you will visit My heart again! So for now…. Cheers! You are MOST Welcome!
