Poetry: Smiles

When She Smiles

When She Smiles
The world turns a little slower
Sometimes it even seems to stand still
She makes me happy
And I don't even know her
But I'm hoping that someday I will

When she smiles
Birds sing their songs happily
Love songs in a universal key
Music in the early morning skies
I want to sing

And want you to sing with me
As we listen to the world harmonize

The sky seems a little bluer
Love, a little truer

Life, a little newer
When she smiles

She makes everything feel better
Like a comfortable sweater
That's been around awhile
When she smiles

It's like chicken soup
When you have a cold
Like a young girls wink
When you're feeling old
Like the warm hug from a child
When she smiles
When she smiles
