Speak to me of lovely things
of folks inspired
and art
and Spring.
Use your words to fill me
with the Good news!

Share aloud your dreams,
your hopes,
yours aspirations,
inspirations...
Tell me what you like
about the current situation...
Recount for me an anecdote of joy.

I want to hear the stories
of your random acts of kindness
of the things that make you proud
or made you smile along the way.
I want to hear the songs you sing
when you sing other's praises,
or how grateful that you are,
because someone made your day.

Wrap me in the warmth
of your cheerful disposition
Grant me needed respite
from the darkness that is near
For you and I together
shape reality's oasis
and you and I together
make it dear.
