        What’s in a smile?!

If I could write...
a thousand ‘perfect’ poems,
I’d pen them all...for you!

If I had finest words...
for a million special thoughts,
I’d speak them all...for you!

If I had grandest riches...
of a billion hidden worlds,
I’d spend them all...for you!

Just...to see you smile!.....

And, if I could catch one chance...
To slip back time-cog’s purpose,
for all that I could ever wish...
I’d sacrifice it all....

Just...to see that smile again!

[I will refrain from posting a name under
  the title of this poem to avoid any
    embarrassment  to the ‘inspiration’]

Words are but the breath of sigh
You've yet to pass the needles eye.

The source of your inspiration will most assuredly will be smiling after reading this smile of a caring poem.

A smile begets a smile.

Sending one to each of you!

Well done, indeed

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Something tells me they have already figured
it out...

I would do the same,  but I think I would
reserve it for someone much closer to me..

Perhaps a parent,  long dead...sorely missed.

I understand the wants expressed in this poem, no matter the inspiration, wanting to see another smile is a permeation of your souls will. You my friend are a positive individual.

Perceptions of reality are bending as truth seeps into the masses.

Bruce~
A smile seems such a simple thing
to want to see on a face ...
it is a gift of great importance
to both the giver and the receiver~
