• Smiles
    Even from here i can see
    Your classic head-on grin
    Eyes squeezing shut into
    Thin lines as you laugh

    And then theres the cryptic one,
    The kind that resonates against
    The chasm of my wandering mind;
    A half-smile, quietly understanding
    Showing full confidence and acceptance

    The smile that you use only
    When youre acting a little silly
    And everyone is laughing-
    Where you close those brown eyes
    And let loose with your joy
    Sending a stream of happiness
    Into the wide world

    The rarest kind is at the conclusion
    Of a precise phrase you know is right
    You radiate confidence, but the power
    Of that smile is in the expression,
    Brimming with hope and assurance

    Even from this long distance away,
    Your smiles assure me it will be alright
    I look forward to each new day
    Because i know youll be there
    And ill see you smile
