When You Smiled Poem by Ebba Poole

When You Smiled

Rating: 5.0


If roses were red,
And violets were blue,
Then you would have lived,
And nothing askew,
But now that your gone,
And everything's gravy,
That one special gal,
Who still lives on,
However astray,
Will never forget,
The one who helped,
Construct a picture,
Of not a bleak world,
But of one that,
Sparkled.
When you smiled.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Special mention goes to close grandparents of mine- so wise and knew what they were saying.
Honourable mention to a childhood friend who was like a sister that always stuck by me and knew how to make me smile.
Rest in peace all of you.
