The thin threads of your grey jumper
Lie loose on the bones of your back
Your life has been hard
Just getting through
So little has come your way
So much that you lack
But now you are here
And a change has begun
You have a wife
A new life
Less pain
When you smile
Your whole face glows
For a while
And best of all
Though you do not know
You have the eyes of George Clooney
Fit for a movie
As the story of your life
Continues to unfold
I hope you will find
The strength to be bold
Be happy
Be true
All good things
In the world
Should now come
To you.
