Smile



Smile

by Andre Pierre Smith
As we vision thoughts of joy
By way of smiles that touch
Passing each other's warmth
Of passion so feel has much

More than a gift to be given
By an emotion smiling made
With a glance into both eyes
revealing a precious shade

As pleasant faces change faces
By leaving traces where places
Can mirror grace's silhouette

Painting just how happy erases
Despair with a joy that chases
Deep into a basis of no regret

Where good forgets how to feel
Less than best making better real
