She always looks towards tomorrow,
That was just her way,
Quickly forgetting each sorrow,
Barely within the realm of today.
Always with a smile to lend,
A bouncy step and twinkle in her eye,
To everyone she is a friend.
She often forgot to brush her hair
And make-up she hadn’t any,
But then she didn’t have a care,
And often had not a penny,
I haven’t seen her in quite a while
And am not sure where she’s gone
But I do miss that always smile.

There is a poem, somewhere,
that encompasses a thought in passing,
so that surely, you knew
she thought of you,
thinking of her.

Or perhaps that poem
just needs to be written.

Professor,
  This one sounds like my dad!   The little twinkle and always a smile and a lending hand!   He was aloof to the spots on his lenses and tie--had better things to do than think about himself.  I enjoyed your write.
     This one was a little different,lighter than your others-a nice surprise, although, your other work is excellent!
     Maybe you'll see that always smile again, or, perhaps, it will be you wearing it and sharing it with others.  That's silly-you already do!
       Happiest holidays to you and yours!
