The Price of Smiles

Missing image

 

Is there any step we can take in life

that is not more blessed or full of joy

if we know another sees our footprints

not with indifference, but the focus of compassion's gaze?

 

What curl of lips spent with a phrase

glowing in inspiration's language

ever fails to give our heart a song, so rich and touching,

when it shines from a friend's special love?

 

Though valleys may stretched in tomorrow's endless horizons

they never are experienced alone or just in the dark of sadness

as long as there is one who holds their light before us,

who is a willingly partner to our journey,

not asking anything, except to share

our shadows and secrets, hopes and dreams.

 

They stroke the heart with feather's of joy

before caressing the mind with the golden songs of esteem,

caring more for one's happiness

than what worth others might want to redeem.

 

In the night they never disappear

always hearing your voice so loud and clear.

 

As you come to this crossroads of jubilation

a time to reflection and cherishing three years celebration

among those who think of you as more than a name,

may the future bring you a bounty of encouragement,

the precious harvest of wonderful memories

 

By a chance to always find a corner in other's thoughts

that will embrace you for the gem your soul does shine,

and never lack a reason to listen with understanding,

gladly willing to offer the price of smiles that never ends

for a very special quill and wonderful friend.

Author notes

Many wishes for a time of smiles on your 3 year anniversary at AP

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me. ~~ Author Unknown

    By a chance to always find a corner in other's thoughts
    that will embrace you for the gem your soul does shine,

    For some weird reason, this brought tears to my eyes....
    To feel this much compassion and care for another soul is just...well, I'm at a loss for words
    I wish you the best of the best
