Smile

{Post: 334/365}

after I

get past the

silly nervousness

of talking to you

for the first time

in a long time

I remember

how happy it makes me

I like the sound 

of your voice

your laughter

and I could 

listen to you talking

for hours

because it just 

makes me smile

:) :) happy smiles :) :)

Two Hundred Reasons

{Post: 200/365}
(woohooo 200th post!!)

two hundred

reasons to smile

in less than a year

I have challenged

myself

and managed

to write

over two hundred

poems

not to mention

other posts

and 

stories

I have begun

and what I have learned

is this

write, write, write

it is not ALL good

but every day it is

better and better

than the day before

that IS

two hundred reasons

to SMILE!

and be proud 

of myself

and what I have accomplished

I Wish to BE

{Post: 151/365}

I wish to be

a ray of sunshine

to brighten your day

I wish to be

the light

that shines into darkness

I wish to be

a smile on your lips

and a lift to your heart

I wish to be

a warm hug

of love and compassion

I wish to be

a sweet friend

you wish never to do without!

Finding My Joy

{Post: 145/365}

how do I find

the smile inside of me

the one that

grows

no matter

what life throws

the one that knows

exactly why

and how 

my soul flows

how deep 

inside myself

must I be

to understand

all that I need

to see

about

the joy and contentment

i bring to ME

by searching

experience

and choosing

to live

for everything

I am willing

to give

and all of the things

keeping my heart

active

I find

the smile

inside of me

I know 

how deep

 I have to be

and I 

that i AM

all and everything I need

inside of ME

MY Smile

{Post: 72/365}

it begins
with a warm feeling
in my heart
and flows
from heart
upward and outward
into my eyes
and on my face
it is the countenance
I offer to you
my friend
from
the warmth of my heart
and my
smile
