Optimist Prime--By Cristine A. Gruber--United States

Optimist Prime
The Ultimate Transformer

She stilled
the baby’s tears,
got the toddler to smile,
and the parents to laugh out loud.
I watched
enthralled as she transformed the room
with her positive view
on life, living,
and love.

Cristine A. Gruber writes from sunny, Southern California. She has had work featured in numerous magazines, including: North American Review, Writer’s Digest, California Quarterly, The Homestead Review, Red River Review, and The Write Place at the Write Time.
