Smile That Never Leaves Me Poem by sreelekha premjit

Every time I smile I know
your eyes sparkle
your grin broadens

knowing that
how could I
hide the smile

that spreads on my face
the rising sun
brings it out
the dancing leaves
sets it off

and I let it go
I let it go
every smile that starts in my heart

because I know
my smile is the sparkle in your eyes
its the spring in your steps

so even when I am aching to cry
I bring it up
the smile that sets your heart racing
the smile that broadens your grin
and the smile never leaves me
