Life starts today,
smiles conquer frowns,
sorrows decay,
fears hit the ground.
Inner child plays,
merry go round,
nerves slip away,
wishes are found.
Wonderful place,
to stand up strong,
never disgraced,
always belong.
A little sign,
small spark of hope,
highlights a shines,
raises steep slopes.
Twinkles both eyes,
elevates faith,
stale thoughts revise,
spirit guides brain.
Gifts of insight,
pilots each gear,
forever bright,
endlessly clear.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
