She Rushed In Like a Flurry

When something returned home
We were surprised, as we had not realized joy had been missing
She rushed in like a flurry, talking excitedly
Enthusiastic about life, loving college, enjoying people

We had not seen this girl's joy for almost ten years
She had been hiding in a world of gloom
In a bedroom she had painted black, even the ceiling
We were thrilled, when something returned home.

This is in honor of my oldest daughter ANGELA whose name I decided on for my firstborn daughter when I was eight.
