Notes About The Poem

Seven Reasons To Smile

The world is in turmoil
Hospital beds full
The cup of dreams falls empty
With anxiety comes the screams
Hurricanes ripping apart homes
Humanity hugging their very bones
Uphill is the climb with the pill
As penguins dance in the clouds
Comfort found in tiny places
With friendships laughter abounds
Today I smile as the night turns to day
Realization, oh! laughter's sway
I went to home
And counted to seven
Normality is back
As I dance in the rain
With friends by my side
I wave
		away
				all the 
						Pain
