De Leon's Dream

The sound of children's laughter brings  delight.

Those ebullient refrains that can console

And even to infect a cynic's soul.

If only one has wisdom to invite.

A grumpy bastard hearkens not despite

The understanding that he is not whole

If he grants anger power to control

He'll surely find he's in a desp'rate plight.


It takes a moment to reverse your course.

The strength to navigate is in your hand.

Remember your own youth, the dreams you knew

And from your negativity divorce.

Such life is brighter, you now understand.

Now grasp the joy you know you can pursue.
