(from the notepad) July 29, 1998

Charles ------ said something today
And what he said
Made me even happier.
He said "Crystal, you look a lot better."
But the thing is,
He didn't mean that I'm prettier
He went on to explain
Saying my hair had more colour,
There was colour back in my face.
I looked happier...I smile a lot more.
There's a sparkle in my eye.
Adding that all up,
I guess I would be
Prettier.
