When She Smiles





She is sweet as a jujube that one 
doling out Christmas cards by the ton
Her colorful clothes are like banners  
and she reminds me of a sparkly elf 

Wearing cute bows in her hair 
she tells ding dong stories of old 
A jolly girl that is as bright as can be
I love it when she sits by the Xmas tree 

I call her my doppelganger my mini-me  
her hair was once gold and now its gray 
of those lovely cards, she owns a stack!  
when she smiles she doesn't hold back.
