“Creativity may not always sit well, but has the power to heal.” Michelle Liew

While outside-the-box ideas may seem quirky or even offensive to some, remember that those have helped at some point of time. We can think of millions of examples!

**********************************************************************

In a laid-back town, when the pale moon rose,

Came Bob the Sprite in a naughty pose.

“Not just ice,” he proclaimed, with a smile,

“It will shine brightly, in a while.”

**********************************************************************

He doused the trees with patterns and curls,

Made the glass of windows at last unfurl

A frosty leaf showed on Aunty Em’s pane,

“That’s art!” he said, and pranced again.

**********************************************************************The townsfolk moaned, “It’s a frosty mess!

“Our doors, our homes - we’re quite distressed!”

Bob hid in the shadows, quite contrite

Till Mr. Wilson saw his plight.

**********************************************************************On his window formed his love, his wife

A treasured scene they shared in life.

He wept, then smiled, his heartstrings alight

“Now Bob, I won’t feel alone tonight.”

**********************************************************************From that day on, the townsfolk agreed

For Bob the Sprite, there was a need.

For life’s paths cannot be always planned -

It sometimes needs the magic of a frosty hand.
