A GLADSOME FRIEND

I have a friend who sees the rainbow,
In the absence of sunlight.

He often sings a melody,
That cheerfulyl lifts my heart.

He smiles at me and at the whole family,
Including the adopted cat at home.

He sips champagne on pouring rain,
And throws a toast to everyone.

I like him best when he stomps around,
Wearing his dancing shoes.

One day I asked, why he came by,
And prance his life around.

He told me then, his life's account,
Through a bit of song and dance.

The gladsome life you see in me,
Is a sweet reflection of the one who passed me by.

I liked this piece

Calirejane,

I liked this piece for the entire thing was about human connections and how they can lift spirits.

Lifted UP

Dear Pete,

Thanks for reading it.

I wrote it as I remember a friend of mine back home. He really lifts me up. In a way I can feel his spirit radiates though I am miles from home.
