With My Hands

Like clay in my hand, I held a frown... Massaged it slowly till the edges were round... The warmth of my fingers softened the feel... Then I kissed it slowly as the smile became real... The closer I held it ,the more it whispered today... Words of love it spoke , as the frown whithered away...

I was reading Russell's comment below. I so agree: a marvelous concept this is, Michael, and thanks so much for the win in your old tv show contest. Luv, Andrea

What a marvelous concept, converting a clay frown into a special smile! I love how you described how it went from stage to stage and bringing out the feelings within through some of your trigger words! Great Work!!

Michael, this poem is so creative and very moving. I had an aunt who could turn a frown upside down and she encouraged me to look at life just the way you described here. The message is so uplifting, but I still had a few tears thinking of how Aunt Eva lived by this creed. Even as she was dying, she was still smiling. Thank you, my friend. I think you know I've been ill and my time here is limited. I'm going to go out smiling too...maybe even laughing. Love, Carolyn
