These late late nights
Try to take their toll
With shadows under eyes
And yawning, wide, whole.
And if I really wanted
My temper could snap
And all those I affronted
Would shrink right back.
But the little giggle in my belly
Makes me smile all day
And laugh at altercation
Keeps my mood at bay.
These dancing butterflies
This tricky giddy waltz
These happy days
With surmountable faults.
