A Smile's Glow

Some time since I’ve seen you now
Fast and steady pushing through
Moments pass like rivers flow
My thoughts dance with your smile’s glow.

Shooting star wonders fill my night
Thoughts of love and laughter nurture
Life’s splendor a garden show
My thoughts dance with your smile’s glow.

There’s no longer a touch to share
A nest of childhood memories glare
Inspiration the gift you bestow
My thoughts dance with your smile’s glow.

So here we sit and share a tango
Never resting in a drain of pain
Looking up to the sky’s wide bow
My thoughts dance with your smile’s glow.

Passing by a wide shop window
Dipping toes into the sand
You do not but I still grow
My thoughts dance with your smile’s glow.

No longer here
I can see your grin
Resting calmly in a chair
You looked at me did you know?
My thoughts would dance
With your smile’s glow.
