Happyville

New York can be drab, selfish and mean
I am walking with my head down,
I look dangerously angry and care not.
Then I get a glimpse of a bouquet
This bounces me into happyville.
Thank God for the real New Yorker
Who knew what my heart needed

Flowers have the same effect on me... Lighten both steps and hearts... Lovely verse

Caren, Very nice. Your heart is always in the right place, even in the shadow of the big apple. Loved the bouguet that says 'Welcome to happyville'. -Richard

Thank you Richard. The inspiration was a gorgeous bouquet on a garbage can in New York City.
