@Izzie,
Izzie, what really makes a wonderful world is you and your optimism. That was fantastic, dear, and as mismi says ,you are lovely as is your niece. Thank you, for the "world through your eyes".
Your lovely song reminds me of one by Ray Stevens. In times like these, we're going to have to look for the rainbow, but we also must remember these words as well:
"But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river,
A moment white--then melts forever;
Or like the borealis race,
That flit ere you can point their place;
Or like the rainbow's lovely form
Evanishing amid the storm."
~ Robert Burns ~1759"1796 ~
Now let's listen to Ray, folks.
