THE LOST SMILE

THE SMILE THAT WIPED AWAY MANY A TEAR OF MINE ,
THE SMILE THAT USED TO LIFT ME FROM MISERY TO ECSTACY DIVINE,
THE SMILE WHOSE WARMTH MADE ME FEEL AS IF THE SUN WEREN'T FURTHER THAN A MILE,
THE SMILE THAT MADE IT WORTH LIVING IN THIS WORLD OF GUILE,
THE SMILE AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE DEW ON A GARDEN ROSE ,
THE SMILE THAT UPLIFTED ME AND MADE OUR SOULS CLOSE,
THE SMILE THAT MADE MERE SECONDS MORE PRECIOUS THAN MANY HOURS,
THE SMILE THAT MADE ME FEEL AS IF THE WORLD WAS OURS,
THE SMILE THAT HAD THE INNOCENCE AND THE BEAUTY OF A CHILD,
THE SMILE THAT MADE ME FEEL AS FREE AS THE ANIMALS WILD,
THAT SMILE I MISS MORE THAN I CAN EXPLAIN IN MERE WORDS,
ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I FEEL SO LONELY THAT IT HURTS......
