Smiling Back

I was walking Sometimes running Sometimes flying When one day I was tripped up the stairs Spilt all over the floor My thoughts and feelings Words and meanings All jumbled And out of order I could not collect them There they lay I sat unable to pick them up Fast enough to say Don't leave me here I'm going up Want to come along? Yet I didn't say a word But I think she knew What I meant to utter As I laid there still in a clutter For she stayed and helped me up Yet not a whisper from her Could I hear either I guess she was speechless Just as I but I could see Something in her eyes Speaking with fervor That could not come out So I collected my things And smiled gave a chuckle She laughed quietly And gave me a nod Seems it was fate Or destiny but I wouldn't Think too much of it I was just glad Someone was smiling back...
