Mother's Smile
He greets the sunrise in fear.
Not knowing what today
In his world will bring.
The Greatness of life
stretching endlessly before him.
To a child, such a fearsome thing.
Today will you lift him up
Or will you cast him down?
Have you already imagined
his committing of a new wrong.
In the beauty of this new day
will you gift him with the Joy
of a Mother's Loving Smile?
