smile

Listen to poem:
Can I borrow your smile for a while? 'cos I'm so happy to see YOU smile! Here are some things in my smile-a-while-pile A wagging puppy tail rattling on the wall A pussy cat with walking-stick tail up tall Dandelion flower seeds puffed into the air Blowing out candles, one-two-three, puff! The wink and glint of eyes looking my way The pop of popcorn popping in the pot Skipping and hopping on way to playground park The whee and glee of the slippy-dip slide The hanging-out twirl on round-about rides The pitter-patter rattle tap of rain on glass The twit, chat, twerp of birds calling at dawn The smell of bread straight from the oven Walking hand-in-hand, arms swinging to-and-fro Singing along to my favorite song with you Watching a rainbow reach for its pot of gold Crumpets and honey, hot chocolate and sweets Hearing funny stories read, or told to me I smile when YOU smile - so Come On! Make me smile!
