Tough Side Gentle

A  L  O  H  A !
 Marvelous Sparkling Weekend Here!

Too many of us
 are tough outside
but wavering inside; 
Let's be confident 
enough inside 
to be gentle
 outwardly.

Ala Moana Blvd.
I like the sea-defused light
throbbing on his shell
as it does in real life!
[and they do make 
eye contact on occasion]
