Smile

To all the little things that bring the biggest smiles

A hand-made heart

With a name only you can read.

 

An old plastic ring in a jewelry box

That you’ll throw away.

 

The bear on the shelf

That’s mean so much.

 

A song on the radio

That has the best memories.

 

A picture from years ago

That can never be redone.

 

An inside joke

That never gets old.

 

A stretch of road

You love to drive.

 

A ray of sun

Thru the stormy clouds.

 

The sun on your face

When it’s cold outside.

 

Sounds of spring

After the seemingly long winter.

 

The unused coffee mug

You don’t want to fade.

 

An old note

You let pop-up at random.

 

The voice and face

You know by heart.

 

Things so small

So meaningless to some.

 

Can bring the biggest, truest smile

And light up your face.

So true and so sweetly written, as if you were actually going through some things as you wrote. The images are authentic and the feelings you have about your memories and keepsakes come through. I relate.
