My Sisters Smile...

My sister left her smile at my house... I found it and put it on... Her smile laden with many memories full of warmth joy through embattled laughter...and song... Her courage outright distinguished... Like a rested storm...finally free... ...As I stood in the mirror... Her smile smiled back at me... for this is what it said... I wear this smile with pride... I wear this smile with pride... For this smile leads me into a new day... This smile ignores me not... It reminds me - of the fun I have at play... It has seen me through many battles... ...and reminds me of the ones I've won... But it helps to remember the beautiful person I have today become... From a child once abandoned... to bare a daughter of my own... My smile understands the feelings... and with spirit I have grown... My life is full and rich...and my love for the world I have declared... With my all...dressed in my smile I stand before you... ...From within my smile I do share... And today I ask that you return me to my owner... ...and here it is my sister... For my beautiful sister Jay...
