Pseudo-Smile

Nights unveil the darkness 
Of dreary, dismal days
Thoughts plummet deeply 
And diverge in disarray
Anxieties surmount
Ability to cope is seized
Sad face, a pseudo-smile
Hope barely within reach

My father was a master of the pseudo-smile, but it still brightened the day of others . . . .
