Cherished smiles linger longer than the day,
Soft echoes of a joy we once held near;
Though time may pull those moments far away,
Their warmth remains, unbroken, bright, and clear.
They rise in memory when nights grow long,
A gentle light against the weight of years;
In silent hearts, they hum a tender song,
Reminding us of love beyond our fears.
Not all smiles stay to face the changing skies,
Some fade before we know their lasting worth;
Yet cherished smiles, though gone from present eyes,
Still bless the shadows wandering the earth.
So keep them safe where time cannot erase—
These fleeting joys that gave our lives their grace.
