peek-a-boo, i see you;

there was this
kind old lady
who actually gave her seat to a tired looking mother
when she herself seemed tuckered out

perhaps
she'll come home to a loving husband
who would kiss her wrinkles away

there was this
sweet old man
with a smile for those with frowns

perhaps
he'll come home to a wonderful family
giving him all the love he would need to last him two lifetimes

there was this
pretty little girl
in a slightly torn pink frock
staring out the window while her worried mother held her tight

perhaps
she'll grow into a beautiful, strong woman
and make a difference in this world

there was this
busy young man
with a phone stuck to his ear
never pausing, not once

perhaps
he'll get his break real soon
and retires at the age of 40

no matter how bad the day
no matter how utterly horrible the world
no matter how tragic the life

was, is, will be;

everyone deserves a happy ending.
