Annoyed I asked her,
"Why not spend the days left
With
Laughter and kindness?
Must you always be in
Such a grouch?"
Then slowly,
She started to smile.
I couldn't tell if it was deceit
Masquerading a glance,
But it was nice to
See her there,
Smiling
For the first time in weeks.
I felt good,
I've finally gotten her to
Act normal.
If she could only hear what they say.
