Your Smile Poem by Danny Speicher

Sunset with an orange and violet tone
Soft hues on the horizon for miles
Beauty surrounding, enveloping me
Yet, all I can think of is your smile

Prairie fire sweeps through a rural plain
By it's flame, making sowing worthwhile
Not unlike the fire that we face now
Oh, all I wish to see is your smile

And, when I think about trials we face
And inevitable pain we feel now
I know it's part of joy we'll feel later
And, your smile makes it worth it somehow

An eagle flew high through the clouds above
With grace, freedom and majestic style
Someday we'll be free, too, to fly so high
Until then, I'll think upon your smile

And, when I think about trials we face
And inevitable pain we feel now
I know it's part of joy we'll feel later
And, your smile makes it worth it somehow

A smile that turns a dark day to bright
A smile that brings me sweet dreams at night
A smile that strengthens my heart to fight
A smile that drives me to make everything right

Remember pain now becomes joy later
That's just the deal, dear, that's just the deal
Don't forget true love is irrational
The joy we'll know will ease the pain we feel

And, when I think about trials we face
And inevitable pain we feel now
I know it's part of joy we'll feel later
And, your smile makes it worth it somehow

Your smile just makes it worth it somehow
