Shades of Your Smile
In solitude I sit, in the silence of thought
As my mind conjures memories past
In the still frame of shadows your image is caught
Seared in my memory the day it was cast
I wonder if your smile still has that glow
Oh, forbid the clouds to cover your light
That your smile through the clouds will always show
And brighten the darkness in the heart of my night
That I may grieve not, alone and forlorn
Knowing that you, in happiness soar
My heart though heavy, no more to mourn
As your smile shines brighter than ever before
And if in the silence bitter tears fall
My heart will seek solace in love's sweet recall
