Just a Smile Just a smile not that much to ask and if your heart has wings its a simple little task You might feel it in your fingers maybe tingling in your toes then soon you'll feel it spreading there! just beneath your nose Your eyes begin to twinkle your cheeks turn rosy red with happy thoughts, or warmth or love all mingling in your head Then you realize what you've done, you can't change it now and you see your smile reflected back as my own begins As yours, it starts slow, just a slight wrinkle, but soon its gaining steam my eyes alight with your caring warmth though they seem hazy, as in dream As mine still grows, yours broadens too, soon both are stretching near a mile The world has changed, all by your act You'd say "It was nothing" Just a smile © Aaron Wedemeyer Latest poem by Aaron Email Aaron
