Smile Poem by John Ackerman

Smile can bring you near to me
don't let them ever found me gone cause that will bring a tear to me
right now is no other time and I can show you how my love runs through me
then I give you all my love I'm here if you should call to me
but you think that i don't even hear a simple word I say
we feel broken inside and calmly let things slide
through tragedy we can dream some dreams
even falling apart at the seams

we treasured a red rose that was plucked a time before
each of us gets a glimpse getting caught up in the mix
a soul's vested union within the concept of love
some can sweep some things underneath the rug
yet in our helpless state we must look toward faith
a reason for being to keep on climbing
in the onslaught of violence there's an intentional gain of silence
