Because She Smiled

 

On that picturesque day

The Sun would shine on her

Intent to steal a boy’s heart

 With just a smile she’d capture

 

Awestruck at first sight

Everything else out of focus

Except her smiling face

Mesmerized by some hocus pocus

 

He knew nothing of love

But now a student of new school

With every passing day

She was his golden rule

 

The days grew into months

The months into years

Though she moved away

She would be his driving gears

 

The years would pass

Love would come and go

But never again a smile

Quite like her glow

 

And because of her

He smiles all day

Smiles all night

Cause that’s love’s way

 

Now an elderly man

He still remembers her

Because she smiled

His heart is all the wealthier
