When was the last time
you were happy, Guile?
When was the last time
you smiled without
faking it?
When was the last time
you saw the sun rise
and set?
When was the last time
you fed birds in the park?
When was the last time
you didn't wear a black shirt?
When was the last time
you said "I love you, Mom."?
When was the last time
you read Calvin and Hobbes?
When was the last time
you did something outrageous?
When was the last time
we had fun together?
When was the last time
I heard you sing?
When was the last time
I saw life in those eyes?

When was the last time
we were happy, Guile?

mosh...this precious...a wonderful expression of enjoying lifes simpler moments, that so often sneak by us....this is for you>>>>>


                  

haha..okay...any excuse to use an icon!!  < !signature-->

 ...every moment of every day...
your still with me in every way.
every poem and song...
every rhyme and verse...
your still here...like a beautiful curse.

Well expressed, I have asked myself those same questions a lot these past couple of years.  Well done  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

Your piece speaks of life's little joys yet questions, with concern, if another sees these joys too.  I found your poem very sad as I know people that - when I look into their eyes, I see no life - only pain or nothing at all.  Very touching poem for me.
