A Rising Smile
I turned around
On the march towards tomorrow
And intensely screen yester-days
With the lens of critical thought
That provoke tears with frowns and a rising smile
Deeds I'll differently do
If time can be backwheeled
And offer a chance of recreation,
Filled those gone days
Of poor uncalculated judgements
Pain and forlon it often advance
In its undodgeable remembrance
For all it mostly yielded
As time had progressed
Seems a pack of depressive backwardness
Failure begets unappreciated credits
But here emerges a smiling face
In a teething and crippled toddler
That now maturely walks
With peer frightening confidence
Won't be blinded to new fault
I'll appraise the gains of yesterday's failure
That induced today's smile
And paint tomorrow
On a brightly admirable canvas.
