Inexplicable Happiness


Lovely lives are lived by those who choose to live with glee,

Theres a glittering girl in a gorgeous dress as free as she can be.

She twirls and flows in rays of sun as a smile stretches her cheeks

As others stop and ache to be the cloud catching girl they perceive.

Receiving life as a present, she's wrapped it with a bow. 

So that every time the tables turn, she still can learn and grow. 

Puckered lips suspire and peck the keepers of her heart. 

In growing old, and weak, and slow she so slightly fell apart,

But only in her body because her beating heart sounds like a drum, 

And in this game, the game of life, she unknowingly just won.
