I Smiled

I Smiled lying under the hundred year oak watching the vibrant android green leaves sway in the soft southern summer breeze daydreaming of the time we swayed to the slow beats of the Caribbean quintet I Smiled looking at the Monarch butterfly with it's beautiful white and black and orange wings fluttering and flittering about in the colorful flower garden all I can think about is the time I brought you those daisies your eyes lit up like caramel colored candy floss You smiled that gorgeous killer smile and it lit up my heart butterflies were churning a warm calm overtook me it was then and there I knew I knew you were the one for me I'd never be here without you and I Smiled
