Clowns (Cirque Du So Leil)
(My humbled tribute clowns all over, deceased or alive)
Cheerful faces made up and painted white
Glowing with stark colors extra bright
Wonderful array of emotions on faces displayed
Making people happy is the way in their hearts and their heads
Some might think that it is only a simple job
But really it is more than that it's a choice when they laugh or they sob
A decision that they've come to terms with when they gleed
Even when deep inside they may be also so broken-hearted
But they continue making people laugh just the same
And entertaining children of all the ages just alike
They bring into the world so much joy and happiness acclaimed
As they spread to the mermerized crowds all their charms unnamed
Funny faces made up of white paint as they ride
Melting sad hearts and sowing everywhere hopes
Even when they may be hurting deep inside
They always bring to the world so much joy as they play!
