Spare The Smile Poem by Obed dela Cruz

(Imagine if God tells this to you)

When beauty was yet kept from the eyes of any man
And the masterpiece was yet a Breath of Life away,
You were here in My heart when summertime first began
After the spring gave its first bloom in the light of day.

For you I gave a lasting warmth in a world of ice
Where winter threatened throughout eternity to yield.
I was the One who made it clear for your blinded eyes
To see that I prepared for My love the flow’ry field.

So would you please spare the smile and reserve it for me?
The dawn breaks as light springs forth to appear before love,
But if without your heart it seems things are vanity,
For in my heart, you’re the bride I will bring up above.

Spare the smile and the heart; let them be completely Mine.
I will make you own the start you dreamed of possessing.
Everything shall bow after our pledges combine
For the dominion is ours for our own cherishing.

Share with Me your tears and gladness as you spare the smile.
Drink with Me the wine, which forever shall not taste vile.
