smiles

Have you ever thought about the things, that make a person smile?
The laughter of a happy friend, The magic in a child.

The wonder of a new born love, the birth of a new life,
the trust i see in my child's face, the love in the face of my wife.

Have you ever thought about the things, that make a person frown?
the wailing of a broken friend. The skeptic in a child.

the pain felt in a new lost love, the death of a lost life,
the hurt i see in my child's face, the fear in the face of my wife.

I have thought about the things that make a person feel,
happy, or sad, good or bad , because for me it is real.

i have smiled at the laughter of friends, and have also mixed our tears,
and at times i find it hard to sooth my family's fears

But its my choice, to ponder more ,on things that make me smile
so that my child's memories, will pass on quite a while!
