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...
