Embellish My Day

Embellish My Day

Embellish my day into a full life worthy to be lived in your presence. 
Erase my nonchalance and hubristic thoughts before the fiery declivity
consumes this life and body. The bird's song is gibberish in my thoughts; 
matching my heart and life. Seeing a happy family reminds me of my sadness.
Dry tears sting my eyes and laughter is removed far from my being. 
Renew and enhance my spirit. Mold me for your purposes.
