When She Smiles Poem by D Loveday Morris

When She Smiles

When She smiles her eyes twinkle
Her face glows
It doesn't wear a wrinkle
And she knows
She has passion in her eyes
She knew how to do it
Before people had to try

When She smiles you can hear it in her voice
Her soul ignites the darkness
Long before people had no choice
But to muster all the good they could harness
Now in a world where people wear mask
It invites light in darkened windows
And in her smile people l get lost
How does She do it? Many wonder

Leaving her sorrows in the past
She shares her smile all the while
Many wonder; how can she smile with all that's been lost?
Blinded? Not at all;she smiles and not whine
Walking hand in hand with grace and positive energy
Even when others think it's a difficult thing
She shares her smile with those who can't find any
Knowing that in the end a smile always win
