Your smile always makes
The morning better, and
There is no medicine that
Can lift my soul as its
Pure essence.

For you need not speak to
Me with words, for your
Eyes show an embracing
Glow that lets me know
How you feel.

The life alive within
Them lets me know I
Am always loved by your
Heart, and treasured in
Your thoughts

You daily show no matter
What happens in my life
You are the only one who
Can make me whole.

I saw you smiling.
Like a flash of light.
So bright.
Yet gone in a second
So gorgeous
I reckon,
Why don't you?
You don't smile often
Your lips
They never soften
I reckon,
So dark
Yet, you beckon
So sad
I saw you smiling.....

Then the light. It was gone.
Your eyes they....
darken
forever.

To know we are appreciated is what keeps us smiling.

To be shown we are appreciated is what keeps us moving the next 1000 miles.

I remember looking across the Golden Gate Bridge thinking... This was it! We could never be who we used to be.

Wind in our hair as we drove fast on the interstate... Just you laughing at me and me smiling at you.

What joy to be young and dumb and in love with each other and life.

It was a cool California night, we drank wine under the moonlight and roamed the city with brown paper bags in our hands.

You arms around my shoulders your lips against my cheek... I couldn't help but think this was it! We could never be who we used to be.

There's something about the city at night with its lights and the thought that danger could be around any corner.

But this was exactly where we ought to be... Just you laughing at me and me smiling at you.

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But seeing you smiling at her
Talking to her like she is special to you
Was what hurt me the most
Smiling* on the outside
Crying on the inside
Everyday I smile
But it's just a way to hide

Laughing away the hurts
Cutting away the tears
Smiling at a way to
Forget all my fears

Dancing till I bleed
Inside my head I scream
I can't take this anymore
Only Smiling in my dreams

I'm in the branches as they
No longer look up, heads always
Looking at the floor looking
Downcast
Heavyhearted
Gloomy
At what you see everyday
You look down never up,
The children always look upwards
See me smiling,
I give a little wave
And a wink,
And I'm off up the tree with in a blink
Trees are my freedom
There my playground between
Sky
Air
&
Land
"I am an acrobat, a flier"
I'm free as a bird but with out the wings,
If the elders looked up the things
That they would see,
The sky is imagination,
"It will set you free"
But it is only the young
Who above do look, as there imagination
Lets them see what they want to see
And what they glance at is me..

*(M­arolle)
I fall in love with someone new every day,
Because there’s something about smiling at strangers --
Knowing their eyes and absolutely nothing else.
