My Poem of the Day

(08/05/14)

I’m determined to make you happy, even if just for a while

I see a smile pulling at the corners of your mouth

You seem to fight the smile

But it’s meant to have its way

I see a twinkle tug at the lines of your eyes

You try to look down to chase away the sparkle

But something inside

Gives the win to the twinkle

Now your eyes are shining brightly

I can hear a laugh trying to works its way from your stomach through your mouth

But your body language proves you are trying to hold it back

So I pretend not to see the wall ahead of me

And walk dead straight into it bumping my head

You’ve lost the tug of war and your laugh belts its way out

Win, Lose, or Draw

You’re no match for me when…

I’m determined to make you happy, even if just for a while
