One Thousand Violins & A Smile (Anthem For A Brand New World) Poem by Nicky Tatem

Oh, how this day has warmed my heart
Like one thousand violins & a smile
It has captured the very essence of all that keeps me alive & has showered me tenfold.

Today, I walk ten feet above the ground – uplifted & brimming with happiness absolute
The sun more golden than on any other day
The world comes alive to every streaming ray.

On this, the most wondrous of mornings – every cloud hides its eyes & stays inside, for today there is no place in the world for rain – only dripping, cascading, showering sunshine
Everyone shines – all come out from the shade & stay a while
Let this day warm your heart like one thousand violins & a smile.

I will make this feeling my anthem for a brand new world – one day, I will teach it to you...
