Your Silent Smile
You look to me and I to Him,
I wonder bout which way I have been.
I see your silent smile, reflecting from the window as a blur of trees flashing,
I want to forever stay but this time is passing.
I feel within,
Every tear, every joy,
Every moment that brought you here,
I hold you near and wonder bout it all,
how someone as I, have to hold, this all.
As I leave for the day, you tackle, play, hug and won’t let go,
I want to stay but work must pay,
I slowly push away, leave for the day,
wondering bout, when you won’t beg for me to stay.
I see your silent smile, from the window flashing,
I want to forever stay, but these bills must pay,
Another day I say, another day he wished,
another day may never be accomplished.
I see your silent smile, from the window flashing.
I want to forever stay,
So I looked the other way and stopped for the day,
I took your hand and you took my heart,
We roamed about natures part,
In a creek you splashed, played then fell asleep,
I noticed a maple leaf, weightless in the air, simply floating.
If I may, I would like to stay, if even for a moment, I pray forever.

I like the cadence of this piece.
The day he won’t beg for you to stay–a beautiful line (among many beauties). You really captured the pain of walking away, and the clear knowledge that time is passing and changing life. I can feel how hard it is to miss him/her. The photo is a beautiful touch. Thanks for sharing this piece. It overflows with love!
