For You.

That Smile.
Oh do I remember that smile,
The mark of happiness and ease.
The untroubled life of youthfulness.

I almost thought that smile was gone.
Thought it impossible to relive.
Maybe we had passed those days on to become only memories.
Life has its way of wearing and tearing, oh yes it does.


And then I saw it.
Your moment of contentment.
Oh how I wish you could see it too
That twinkle I often see in old photos.

Memories of bike rides in the rain.
Coffee Dates. Roadside food stops.
Homemade fishing poles and purple umbrellas.
But most importantly-- so much love.

We have a long road ahead of us,
This is only the beginning of another tiresome adventure.
And yet, I know there is hope for the future with
That Smile.
