"Sydney," Said The Little Boy,
"Why Do You Smile So Much?"

"I Don't Know, Ryan," I Replied,
"Is It Weird?"

He Tipped His Head Side To Side,
"A Little," He Grinned

I Watched A Leaf Float Slowly To The Ground,
A Sure Sign Of Fall Arriving,
"Maybe Its Just Because I'm Really Happy"

My Heart Broke A Little Then,
Because It Hurt So Much To Lie
