Happy Face

by Sammck

I often wonder why 

You didn't like your smile 

More than pretty teeth, it proved

Memories are worthwhile

I remember how 

Each time I saw your smile 

No matter what the age you were

I saw "my baby" a while 

And every time I saw

Your heart inside your smile

Your depth of love & compassion

Made 'all' of you worthwhile 

I often wonder why

You didn't like your smile

Any could see in your eyes & your smile 

Gods love sent through you was worthwhile
