Influential

Even on the days when all goes wrong
And nothing seems to fix it, you can come
Armed with a smile and before too long
It's all OK. It's even true that some
Times, when you cannot come yourself, you send
A bit of you, an email or a text,
And that small sign of reaching out will lend
A calmer color to whatever vexed
My heart - or when you cannot even do
That least of things, and you are gone for real,
I can remember when I last saw you
And thus ameliorate the way I feel.
So if this can be true in my malaise
How much the better on my better days?
