Be Happy

The Angel Saint of Best Friends
The one we knew

She struggles to be heard
Amidst torn sinew

Just two words
A blessing in fact… for you

But there’s a devil at the door now
The one of pain and of sorrow

Of loneliness and despair
And he threatens t’morrow

So the words must go unspoken
Cast down… amongst hearts hard broken

The belief held once in the power of acceptance
In the value of pretense

Is

In the end
No belief at all

To be a man is to leave Forever to fairy tales
And children’s dreams

When that child
Returns one day

I will look for you…
In mine
