Face of frown, disapprove
Snarling snapping instant defence
He is a grouch
Old buzzard, why did we have to see him
Children tiny elfin in play
Energetic happy running telling all they know
Little tot whispers
Whats wrong with that man
Can he smile
Amazement the sun shining bright
A huge smile broke forth from years of frown
In wonder ponders all the years known
Never a smile ever the frown
Never an evidence of kindness
Yet rapt attention
As recital of caring for hurt bu*terflys
From tiny child brightly chattering
Little elf like doll happily unconcerned
Certain of a welcome
finding a friend where growups feared to tread
