When You Smile Poem by Denis Martindale

You radiate beauty to me,
Yes, daily, when you smile,
Such that my heart beats joyfully
And faster for a while...
Transfixed I stare, no thought to leave,
No other girl but you
And sometimes it gets hard to breathe,
That's silly, yet it's true...

You radiate beauty to me,
Yes, daily, when you grin,
Just smirking there quite happily,
Some mischief to begin...
To you, life's but a brilliant game
That's full of japes and joys,
That's why my life's no more the same,
That's why I stay by choice...

You radiate beauty to me,
Yes, daily, when you wink,
A secret code I'm meant to see,
To grant me time to think...
Surprises happen now and then
To keep me on my toes,
To make me ask you out again,
Or get me to propose...

You radiate beauty to me,
Yes, daily, ever new,
As if our love's just meant to be,
So what else should we do?
As long as we hold hands, my love,
We'll smile a long, long time
And with God's blessings from above,
Our love will prove sublime...
