Overflow

There’s something deep inside of me
That makes me want to ease
Lines of worry on a face.
There’s something that is in my mind
That makes me want to change
A frown into a smile.
There’s something that is in my heart
That makes me want to catch
Someone who starts to fall.
Because at times I fell myself
And someone caught me
Before I crashed.
A little deed can change a day 
And make it all worthwhile,
Then I’ll find I made a friend
By sharing one small smile.

Wonderful little poem, Laura. I'm glad to have found it. The message is delightful and you did a good job expressing it. and yes, I was the little kid who stayed up late all the time in MY house (referring to my Xmas poem!) Luv, andrea
