The Turnaround

When we arrived, she wasn’t feeling well.
Her attitude was obstinate and stressed.
Before she started carping we could tell,
although we knew it wasn’t lack of rest.
She spoke and acted like she was depressed.
We had to give the restaurant a shove,
but wine and food and talk brought out her best.
She forehead-touched us both goodbye, with love.
