A tribute to a sprightly soul

Even though we're worlds apart

Even though I think you're too crazy

I still find myself smiling at you on the telly

Laughing your heart out over the silliest things

 

I never know what colour your hair nor nails will be

The tight slacks and nose-ring you love so much

I would certainly curl my lips and pull a frown  

When I Contrast those with my shirt and tie

 

Your love for life just shines through

One look at you and the world's a nicer place

It's people like you who make others smile

That deserve to be happy contented and blessed

 

What I see is what you show the world

I don't know what goes on behind the lights

I don't know how you are when you're alone

I don't know if you ever carry a surly look

 

I sometimes think it would be nice to see you

Without the leggings, the painted nails, the crazy hair

But then I also think I don't want to

So I can always smile when I see you :)
