Waking to his smile A cherished gift The frown no longer there lifting her challenged spirits Giving hope the malaise has gone forever Whatever ailed his heart and hardened it with ice Had robbed his face of its charm The twisted agony of pronounced pain consuming his body and mind Filling it with anger and despair Leaving a legacy of suffering Shutting out the one who loved him most and lived his trauma But now, just for a while She takes that smile and forgets all else A contagious reaction of joy and hope that will carry her on a cloud until it doesn’t Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Mish is hosting D'Verse Poets Open Link Night Word Prompts Challenge - Word of the Day Pronounced - RDP Legacy - FOWC Image by ambroo from Pixabay
Good Wednesday morning to you all. This photo and caption just says it all. It was a laugh out loud moment!
Enjoy your day and keep smiling.
In response to Linda G Hill’s One Liner Wednesday
Like snowflakes falling
Silently in the night
I am unaware of the beauty
About to unfold in my sight
You stand in front of me
After a lifetime of years
Memories roaring back
Bringing with them tears
Separated as teenagers
Daddy with a shotgun
A baby on the way
Our parents come undone
You travel east
And I am sent west
Never meant to be
We were told it was for the best
You served our country
Our baby was adopted
Turning away from my family
It was never what I wanted
I left them all in the past
My spirit had been broken
Living a better life alone
Another word was never spoken
Here you are now
A ghost from before
A buried secret
We could never ignore
Your smile the same
It’s as if no time had passed
The lonely years forgotten
We are together at last

Good Morning!
I hope this brings a smile to you face on this Hump Day. Do you agree with this statement?
