I smile today.
I smile today because I saw a child
with a pup that does not growl.
They played around in the mud and
sand,
getting dirt on feet and hands.
I smile today because I saw a man
with roses counting one to ten.
He looked around and anxiously wait
for a girl promised as his date.
I smile because I saw a bride
with her groom that’s standing
beside.
They kissed each other at Saint
Valentine’s church,
hopeful of the new life they lurch.
I smile because I saw 2 dads
with their daughter that they just
had.
They hugged her tight and caressed
her cheek,
singing a lullaby to get her to
sleep.
I smile because today I get
the chance again
to cause some pain
and turn it all so brilliantly bad.
The pup will bite and the child shall cry,
the man will see people pass by and by,
the groom will leave scars on her face,
the dads will be the daughter’s disgrace
Oh, the excitement to see their tears
I smile today,
the 13th of May,
as little mortals brave their greatest fears.
I'll sit back and watch for it is interesting to see
exactly how fragile happiness can be.
I'll sit back and watch for it is interesting to see
