With That Smile

With That Smile

When the day has been long
and the troubles last into the night
And then you come to me
With that smile
and everything is suddenly alright

When I feel the weight of the world
upon my shoulders
and let things get under my skin
And then you come to me
With that smile
and I’m ready to try once again

When another takes me down
Or if I’m feeling pretty low
And then you come to
With that smile
and I know I’m not alone

When I’m hard on myself
and find it difficult to believe in me
And then you come to
With that smile
and I know I can accomplish anything

Your smile does so many things
it brightens up my day
Your smile is like a promise
that things will be okay

Your smile is all I really need
to ease fear, disappointment or doubt
Your smile lightens my heart
From the first day I held you in my arms
I lost my soul to you
The love of my life
With that magical smile
You and I against the world
LOVE YOU

Heat of the Day

In the heat of the day
Sitting out
Under the sun
Shoulders burning up
Chatting laughing
With friends
Wondering how
I lost them
Left them all behind
Now realizing how much
I missed being here
Realizing so much
The agonizing truth
I gave it all up
For nothing
The agonizing truth
That I abandoned my life
Yet
In that abandonment
My friends quietly journeyed with me
Came back to me
Now the time is right
Without judgment
With friendship and care
At the end of this time
I am stronger
My life resumed
Walks in Herbert Park
Shop for food in my local deli
Watch television
Enjoy dinners
Talk to my friends
Travel with excitement
Work with energy
Care for my loved ones
Live peacefully

Finally
I can breathe again

Room 1648
Room 1648
Opening my eyes to
The streaming sun light
Stretching my body
In the heat of the day
To the sound of the sea
Seeing
How lucky I am
From the 16th floor
Looking out at
Sweeping palm trees
Stretch of South Beach
Echoes of beach life
Resonating all around me
Feeling the freedom of happiness
Of peacefulness
Finally

Down at the beach
Sand between my toes
The rolling waves washing
Over me
The taste of salt on my lips
The wind in my face
I lose myself in the expanse of ocean
Glistening under intense sunshine
Your depth of care eventually saving my life
Binding us together as husband and wife
Feeling the freedom of happiness
Of peacefulness
Finally
