It was an ordinary day
Children were fighting
Husband was snarling
Coffee cold and breakfast late
See them off from the garden gate
Come inside and tidy up
Krissy's schoolbook, hubby's cup
Clean the mirrors, wash the floor
Talk to walls and hope for more
It was an ordinary day

It was an ordinary smile
Birds were singing
My heart was ringing
Sunshine hot and sky so blue
As I smile and remember you
Come inside back to my home
Forget that all they do is moan
Smile at the telly, laugh at the door
Knowing you gives me more
It was an ordinary smile

Hi, liked your poem. Appreciate the lightheartedness of it. Like your style, the "telly" made me look to see where you were from, and I guessed right England. I would love to see more of your writing. I like the English twist on things.

Marsha~
This was an interesting read to me.
I was caught with the idea of -

'It was an ordinary smile' ....

When a smile given from another
ends up on my face ...
It causes me to realize the power of a smile.

I enjoyed this.

I felt very happy when I read this. Need a little of that. It's very cute and has my vote, but I couldn't ! Can you fix that ? If you can, I'll be back

Peace,  Geoffrey

Sorry Geof didn't think this was good enough fot the book, so didn't mark the option. Glad you liked it.

Denise, while you were posting a reply here I was posting a reply on yours spooky! Or it could be just plain coincidence. Really glad you liked it.
