Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

When You Smile

when you smile...
   so does my heart!
      the sun...
         shines much brighter...
            and stars in the sky...
               all align.
                  angels...
                    clap and sing!
                       the sparks...
                         in your eyes...
                           explode, so...
                              never lose your smile...
                                it's indeed your greatest...
                                   gift!
                                      when you smile, I smile.
