Notes About The Poem

Dedicated to Amara the daughter of my beautiful friend 

Entered contest  Thousand Watt Smile sponsored by Miranda Hawley

A Thee Year Old's Smile Lights up the Room

Three years of age cerebral palsy her condition
No outward signs she is lacking cognition
Though not yet able to communicate through speech
To meet her needs other signs she does beseech

Fascinated by instruments of music
In response her facial expression never static
The direction of each eye is misaligned
The radiation of her thousand watt smile so magically defined
