Smile
The way you smile
All those cute looks
Makes me go wild
You’ve got me hooked
Seeing you in the halls
Not knowing if you know
I wish I could tell you
But I’ll leave you alone
You’ve got everything you want
Why would want me?
Smile
The way you smile
All those cute looks
Makes me go wild
You’ve got me hooked
Seeing you in the halls
Not knowing if you know
I wish I could tell you
But I’ll leave you alone
You’ve got everything you want
Why would want me?
Before Her
She snuggled closer to me as she slept in my arms last night.
Milk bubbles were all over the floor and her toothless smile.
Tiny toe squiggles and knee prints are scattered all over the floor tile.
But I forget everything there ever was before her…
Before her smile.
If we ever meet againplease don’t act surprised.
Don’t be fooled by my shaking hand
the weariness in my eyes.
My awkward limp is an illusion
a trick of your failing sight.
The wrinkles and scars disappear
in the blessedly weak twilight.
So let me hold my head up high
keep me young in your mind.
Let your memories be charitable
allow them to tell you lies.
Hope we didn’t waste the years
pray we didn’t waste our tears.
May time be kind to our souls
and bring us nothing but cheer.
Great Unknown
Gusty wind upon my face
Rain upon my skin.
Hand in hand
I walk with my beloved.
Into the world of wonder we do go
Stepping into the unknown.
Together we walk hand in hand
Side by side,
Holding each other as if the world was ending.
A world of mystery we do enter
Anticipating where we will end up.
Side by side we walk
Into the night
Tears Within
Feelings of all kinds
Linger within me, the tears deep
Within reach beyond
Any feeling or expression.
They are there to remind me of my weaknesses,
My sorrows,
The happiness of life
And the joy it brings.
They arise at times
Out of no where,
For reasons unknown.
They linger,
All the time deep
Within my spirit
Just waiting for the time
To be needed.
Tears,
Life’s little expression from within
That glistens from without.
Life’s Warm Glow
If you’ve ever seen
A beautiful sunset
Then you know it’s
Not seeing its warmth,
But letting yourself
Dream and feel its glow.
It holds spirits,
Souls,
Memories that rekindle
Every time you’d find yourself
Drifting away into its
Magnificent glory.
A sunset is nothing
Short of a warm loving
Moment that you forget
About life and its sorrows,
It’s shortcomings.
It’s there to remind us all
Of life’s treasures
And beauty.
