A smile
Like a fleeting memory of the past
Like the rising of hope and happiness
A smile
Like a secret longing
For you
A smile
Like joy and sorrow intertwined
Like a gentle breeze
Calm and peaceful
A smile
Just for this moment
Caught between now and then
Remembering but forgetting
A good bye but not a farewell
A smile
Like calm after a storm
A smile for the future
A smile for my friends
For the hardships that we will face
And those that we have overcome
A smile for the rain
That brought healing
That brought delight to the children’s faces
A smile for my new life
Free of doubt
Filled with your presence
A smile for you
And a smile for me
Filled with kindness and knowledge
A smile for the future
A smile for the past
A smile for the present
A smile for my forgiveness
A small smile
But a smile all the same
