Oh, God, that- that smile Look at her Those teeth, the way the left side of her lip curls up first. Lord, her smile, it shows so much. This little girl trying Trying to break free. Jesus, that smile, it just glows every time I see her So why, in pictures, do I not see her? Oh- God... that beautiful impeccable smile. The one that lit up my day, my world. The one that made my heart warm. The one that stoped tears and made babies laugh. That could bring pride to her mother's eyes and fear into her father's That smile-- Is gone, and so is she.
