Her Smile
When she dozed in crib and dreamt divine
How soothing was her angelic smile.
When she trotted around with dad’s shoes on
How priceless was her cherubic smile.
When her pigtails bounced as she hopped
How girlish was her giggling smile.
When she spoke to a cute handsome guy
How impish was her flirty smile.
When she felt fulfilled on donating blood
How compassionate was her innocent smile.
When she conquered her woes with her grin
How triumphant was her charming smile.
She bloomed gracefully smiling until
The rapist forever crippled her smile.
