I am Surprise

Playing around mouth, cheeks and eyes
I share Duchenne smile
When one buys me daffodils and daisies
Joy blushes  in me all the while
Ah! I am never good at goodbyes.

This is such a sweet poem, and I nearly placed it until I noticed something about line 3. I will tell you in Soupmail.
