"YOU LOOK WELL!"

"YOU LOOK WELL!"

For All My Dear Friends With M.E.








“Hello, there!  You look well!
Not seen you for a while ...

“I love your sunny, funny poems ...
They really make me smile!”

“So, you're getting better then?
All is hunky-dory?”

How I wish it were the case ...
But, of course, that’s not the story.

When people see me, do they think:
“How resilient! How brave!”

But, actually, I’m on the brink…
About to drown, not wave.

I paste a smile upon my face ...
More acceptable than a frown.

But it’s the old, familiar tale, you know ...
Behind my smile ...
The tears of a clown.
