"THE SMILE OF AN ANGEL"
When I feel down
There is something
I know that will pick me up
It is called
The Smile of an Angel
Never before have I seen
A more beautiful smile
A smile that is simple
A smile that is refreshingly brilliant
Simply marvelous
There are no words
That I can use to describe it
That gives the smile
The justice it deserves
For it is more beautiful
Than a thousand sunsets
This smile that I call
The Smile of an Angel
Must have been the inspiration
For the creation
Of each those thousand sunsets
Still it warms my heart
As though
The sunrise of a new dawn
The Smile of an Angel
Just perks me up
It is a gentle breeze
That lifts the spirits
Ever so gently
A most gentle caress
It must be
The smile that belongs to
An Angel
That Angel is special
How do you tell an Angel?
How special of a person she is
How unique of a person she is
Without it becoming
A worn out line
This Angel must of
Heard them all
Having every God
Fall at her feet
Yet she remains humble
I am no God
But I am glad that
She shares her smile
The Smile of an Angel
With me
With such perfection
How can I say?
Just the perfect words
To express
My appreciation
For when she shares
Her smile with me
The smile that
Lights the rooms of my
Seemingly empty soul
From one corner to the other
I guess the best way
To show my appreciation
A simple thank you
A sincere thank you
A humble thank you
For allowing me
The chance to bask
In the beauty of which
Is in your smiling face
The Smile of an Angel
