Catching Her Gusto Jazziness and Sheen

Happy Tuesday! The six-year-old girl said with a tiny twirl.
She had a frothy dress all lacy and her forehead had a curl.
Her eyes were green, and her outfit was one of the most prettily seen.
It is a happy day, I agreed, catching her gusto, jazziness and sheen.

If we could all be this exuberant and excited about our day
No one would be angry or nasty, and we could relax and play.
Something wonderful could happen is what her eyes said.
I was glad I had eliminated my bad mood and gotten out of bed.

A youngster's happy and jovial mood is contagious - I saw a documentary filmed in England and it showed nursery school children visiting the homes where rehab patients stayed, and homes where retired and sometimes lonely people stay and to homes of parents that have lost loved ones. I LOVE THIS POEM. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thank you Jennifer. There is nothing more wonderful that an excited child to lift your spirits!

Amazing how "gusto, jazziness and sheen" can change our whole attitude.
