A Smile Poem by Danny Speicher

Perhaps it was the mood I felt tonight
Perhaps just sheer coincidence of chance
Perhaps it was just an exhausted trance
But, I felt a smile, my face, ignite

I don't know what all it was that you said
Or if it was the words you spoke at all
But, tonight, for the first time since the fall
A smile came thinking of what's ahead

I don't know what might come of you and I
If our paths will cross or stay steady on
Friends or lovers, or a friendship long gone
All I know is that a smile drew nigh

So, thank you for bringing light once again
And finding where this smile's been within
