The Sun in Her Smile

She has that kind of smile that reminds you of the sun,
With each year passing my heart becomes a little more undone.

Her joy and love for life stop me in my tracks,
Before her, how was I so unaware of how much I lacked?

She has made me see life more wholly,
I’m brave enough to chase my dreams, because of her solely.

She doesn’t just walk through life, she dances and glides,
What a gift, that this beautiful being was brought Earth- side!

Each day is new, yes, she reminds me every day the story has just begun,
She has a smile that warms you up, just like the sun.
