The garden gnome
A simple creature
Who always wears a smile
He sits with his
Treasured fishing rod
As happy as he could ever be
Stares out at all
That lays before him
He is not saddened by anything
Things he has seen
Are not repeatable here
But still he smiles radiantly
Until one day
His fishing rod
Is stolen and he is distraught
His smile becomes
A tearful sorrow filled
Face that can't see the point anymore
Tears run down
His cheeks and it
Begins to rain heavily
But then
His rod returns
It looks shiny and new
And he returns to being the happy gnome
