A Child's Smile

When Hannah smiles her happy smile
It takes me back to other times,
Another child, another year
With a sweet smile to bright my day.

It takes me back to other times,
The time between ceases to be.
With a sweet smile to bright my day
I could not ask for more than this.

The time between ceases to be
Another child another year.
I could not ask for more than this
When Hannah smiles her happy smile.

For Dr. Ram Mehta Pantoum Me contest  took 8th place
