The wild at heats, and quiet in life
The ones who seek a better and bigger world
Whose imaginations radiates from their fingertips
The ones who find alter egos in book and characters
The people who will travel the earth to experience every possible sight, smell, and sound
Even the ones who live for the taste of a perfectly cooked meal
Or just the guilty pleasure of a mere Hostess snack cake
Do you notice how the stars twinkle so bright under a clear perfectly clear night sky?
Or how the clouds seem creep along in the chilled midnight air
But then there are some people who notice how flower petals are the closest you’ll get to knowing what a color feels like
Some discover the feeling of freedom in a paper and pen
These are things nobody seems to notice because they are trapped in their busy 21st century lives
I admit, guilty is charged
Those media induced people have learned how to survive
But the others are learning to live.

When I see  a bird take its first flight,
When I hear a baby's first cry,
When I notice the butterflies,
I smile for me.

When I read those old letters,
When I see their precious gifts,
When I feel shaken by the loss,
I smile for me.

When I remember their  breath ,
When I miss their caressing hands,
When I think of their smile,
I smile for me.

When I look at me in the mirror,
When I do my hair and eyes,
When I notice my lips,
I smile for me.

When I feel two hearts beating,
When I see two souls meeting,
When I see those eyes shining,
I smile for me.

When I feel honest,
When I help someone,
When I achieve my goals,
I smile for me.

When I see so many colors,
When I hear so many sounds,
When I smell your divine,
I smile for me.
