Face

Little face crunched up with a good loud cry welcome new baby good to be alive As there ever a face so sweet and complete as a sad eye dog begging for a treat Or cunning and sly as a cat's grin that face assured it will win Face of a boy surprised in glee first home run hit running bases with speed A girl's face overcome with joy and tears seeing absent army dad in her classroom appears Face of stoic confidence leading his team to a come from behind victory crowd roaring in screams A face weigh down by pain and sorrow heavy love's loss with the emptiness of tomorrow Fear in the eyes with mouth wide open shock of fright unable to let a scream be spoken Face of love glowing with passion and desire that sparks a heart to burn deep with fire That face in the mirror smiling back at you not bad for a long life and all you been through The face of eternal sleep at rest peaceful with the calm of death.
