Prickly Day

I was prickly all day today,

It showed in every deed.
It seems that every thought I had
Was one more “grumpy seed”.
 
No matter how I tried to smile,
It seemed more like a sneer,
And sarcastic commentary
Found my lips near and dear.
 
It wasn’t how I’d planned to be,
That’s just how my day went,
Until I saw that friendly smile
That seemed so heaven sent.  
 
It wasn’t perfect or sublime,
But it sure made my day
And that was all it took to make
The prickles go away.
