Smile

Smile

I glance up from morning coffee and smile,

thankful that I live each day with a friend,

a person of intelligence and kindness,

a caring for people and nature and freedom,

a writer, a poet, a musician, a singer,

a father, son, brother, uncle, grandfather,

always reading, always learning,

able to make sense of the nonsense,

an encourager and supporter

a confidant, and more:

he is what makes life worthwhile,

this is the face that I love

for him I am thankful

as I glance up from morning coffee and smile.
