Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Yesterday Smile

~

She woke with the joy of her yesterday smile,
her eyes opened up to the day
The morning sun rose in its wonderful style,
bright apricot beams on display

Though clouds came to spoil this magical view,
when news on a breeze filtered in
Then darkness her happiness seemed to undo,
as life sent her frowning again

When there on the edge of a whispering stream,
with arms ever opened and wide
As if on a wish someone painted her dream,
he motioned to her, come inside

She took a brief step and then sat for a while,
his friendship just took her away
She no longer needed her yesterday smile,
he brought her a new one today

~
