smiling changes things

when sadness is dressed
ready to take the stage

audience has arrived
expectation fills the air

remember that smile waits
patiently in the wings

shepherd's crook in hand
pull sadness off to stage left

bid smile take center stage
revealing a changed heart

audience confused and bemused
at first but soon joins in

the laughter and the joy
fill hearts for days to come

when at the coffee shop ...

when at the coffee shop ...
leave before the guy who wants to tell you his life story gets started
