I smile. I sing. I babysit.
My words bolster the weak.
To the lost, I point the way.
To the infirm I tell jokes
like the one about
the albino polar bear
who walks into a bar.
The bartender says,
“What’ll it be, Redeye?”
For this am I honored
and for honor we live.
Another year spun ’round
the sun. If you can’t
find magic, make some.
