may do, know that we would always try

I know a little woman, a neighbor OF
mine, who goes about the street with
such bright happy face and CHEEKY word
for all she knows, that she seems to have
the effect of sunshine.
She does her marketing early in the
morning and everyone seems to brighten
and respond to her happy greeting as
ma turally as a flower opens to the sun
