Tim Riding Poet Rhyme

A Time To Smile

A Time to Smile

		Laughter never had a place
		When growing up was hard to do,
		So happiness came quietly
		In places no one ever knew.

		A smile inside where non could see
		Or understand so sad a face
		That people saw as thoughtfulness,
		But me?  a bright and sacred place.

		Childhood memories filled with sun,
		The walks alone through aged trees
		Where spectral light kissed untrod paths
		With only one to praise or please.

		Life moves on while here I sit
		And think of things that used to be
		Aware that still my mind is full
		Of joy still only shared be me.

		If life should end how could I share
		This secret that I've hid so well
		For who is there to lend an ear
		To stories that I now would tell?
