His Smile

He wore a smile like It was the only thing he owned No one would ever guess He was living on borrowed time As if knowing it was what fueled him Giving him the impetus to carry on Sharing music was his dream And kindling friendships his joy He gave the best ever he could Till the very day he died A model of inspiration to us And shining tribute to life itself AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on April 4, 2019
