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
