ghost with a happy heart

ghost with a happy heart
did not want to frighten with a start
he whispered into a person’s ear
to alert them that he was near

this startled a few too
who thought that ghosts always start with boo
he did not want to frighten them
but rather, wanted to befriend

ghost with a happy heart
liked to lie down next to people at night
some of empathetic ones would wake up with a start
but scream when they saw his ghostly sight

he finally decided to only speak to the little ones
most could see him and thought he was lots of fun
he played checkers with them inside their room
and sometimes showed them his awesome zoom
