Your Scintillating Smile

By Lori Steindorf/Copyright June 18, 2022

When I see your face
When you stroll into view
I see you mostly every day
Without knowing it,
You brighten my drab day

Your casual wave and mega-watt smile
Are scintillating
Would you like to talk awhile
Or we can remain silent and unspoiled
You helped me out that time
When I was in a bind

How could I not be aware of you
You offered to help me with the trash
You slipped me a few bucks
When I was broke and outta luck

I stuttered when I asked your name
So I could properly address you to sing your praise
Your smile, wave and kindness are contagious - the impetus I desperately need to propel me through these dreary days.
