She would curl her lip

as an expression of thought,

I’ll never forget that

find myself doing the same

wishing I wouldn’t

and yet a sweet smile,

I remember again,

why it is I loved her so much.

See it just takes a look

see someone’s eyes smile,

and a day complete,

need nothing beyond

just that quiet moment

when we all can

smile together

knowing life is meant to be

gentle and forgiving,

for how else are we to live

than by the paths of our soul.

For would the world turn

when her eyes

she would give them to me,

she had this way

hers is an elegant look

I’ll never forget,

just hope I might,

one day

see her eyes again.
