Smiles Or Frowns a Double Tetractys

Laughs Turn to Child like smiles When you’re with me Smiles filled with joy when we have time alone Sadness reclaims the smiles when you’re away Frowns find their way From my face To my Heart AgMoore© 07/20/11 for the Smiles and frowns contest (Tetractys ) by Amanda Moore

I was looking for your name on the winner's list and I couldn't believe it wasn't there! yours is just as good, if not better, than some of the winners. i feel like you got gipped. anyway, just know that someone out there, me, loves this!

When we are separated from someone who is the light of our life, this is just how it feels, Amanda. Wonderful entry for the Smiles and Frowns contest and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn
