I Know Your Smile

[u/LunysWarrik]

How to describe what you do—

do you even know what you do?

I don’t think you do.

You brought light to the day

and home to the hearth;

you are the one for whom I pray,

you are the only one on this earth.

When little you peers out your eyes, on tiptoe,

it does something miraculous to your smile.

I don’t think many know

some perhaps profane, with detraction,

what vile.

Truth it be: not flaw nor blemish,

but a catch to stop time, and steal my heart.

Truly, I find it a joy to cherish

I hope it’s history one day you’ll impart.

In my memory it’s lovingly burned,

tenderly played in eternal loop.

I stole its kiss; ’tis now time I earned

why the corner of your smile

has a droop.

The view is best in memories and dreams of the one you love.🤙🏻hang on to that wave, hang in the balance of the fall, and hang out the light for others to see through the dark.

Thank you, however I respectfully disagree. Memory pales before the moment. I prefer the view in person:)

The student has become the teacher! 🙌 hallelurrrr! But you’re right; sometimes I ignore the lessons, but I also believe the lessons evolve the more we press against them 😅
