~For the first time~

She was strange, that's what everyone thought.

She would dance down the street with just herself,

and sing all day long.

She was filled with something, colorful, no one there has had in awhile.

This strange thing, called Joy, overflowed from her.

No one knows why. In such a desolate town, that bears no happiness.

With it's dark streets, and cloud filled skies.

Why her?

Seems she was born this way,

happy.

filled with rays of sunshine, some said.

No one understood.

Until one other little girl, younger than her, saw her dancing alone

and joined.

And together they danced,

filling the streets with rays of sun,

And their happiness, their joy that was overflowing,

continued to overflow,

clearing the clouds, and bringing sunshine.

And soon a whole new generation, boys and girls alike, were filled to the brim with joy, and love, and sun rays of course. Taking it with them wherever they seemed to go.

With time the happiness grew more, more

And this once dark, desolate town,

was filled, for the first time, with 

Happiness.

Loved your story. A refreshing change form all the “doom and gloom” that's found on this site.
I'm always hoping that nature comes up with a “lighten up” virus. Nothing lethal, just enough to make us all a little less crabby.

Yes I do hope the same. thank you for the kind review. :)

This made my day. Great moral, really. You really created something powerful without using a lot of words. I have lot of trouble with doing something like that. I need more room to play around. Great job!

[Sunny]

I like the idea of this. I would like to see more description and color but that's just my preference. I like the idea of someone being happy and then spreading it around in a dark lonesome place.

Good Job

[Sunny]

Thanks! I took your preferences into mind and made a few slight changes! :)

[~*~Peace Keeper~*~]

You're welcome ^^ I can also see this piece becoming a longer story, like taking a similar idea and making another version with paragraphs and such. Just a thought. ^^

[Sunny]

I had a similar thought actually, when i first wrote it. It sort of reminded me of belle From Beauty and the Beast.

[~*~Peace Keeper~*~]

^^ Oh, Belle is my favorite, and now that you said that I can see how she could fit in something like this. Tell me if you ever write a longer version I would like to read it.

[Sunny]

ok i will! :) hehe
