I Smiled

I Smiled

lying under the hundred year oak

watching the vibrant android green leaves

sway in the soft southern summer breeze

daydreaming of the time we swayed

to the slow beats of the Caribbean quintet

I Smiled

looking at the Monarch butterfly

with it's beautiful white and black and orange wings

fluttering and flittering about in the colorful flower garden

all I can think about is the time I brought you those daisies

your eyes lit up like caramel colored candy floss 

You smiled

that gorgeous killer smile

and it lit up my heart

butterflies were churning

a warm calm overtook me

it was then and there I knew

I knew you were the one for me 

I'd never be here without you and

I Smiled
