The world is a little lighter
Gloomy days a little brighter
When a simple little smile
All that is needed for a while
Words sooth a restless soul
In a world that’s taken a toll
She calms this manic mind
Words beautiful and kind
I have found my home
A land I have never known
And I will stay right here
With my heart ever near
Stoic Poetry
