Smile



I love listening to Laurie Berker's childrens songs. One of my favorites is "Smile", and today, when  I heard it it made me write a little poem inspired by it.

SMILE

I know a very special boy,
When I'm with him he fills my heart with joy,
And he make me smile,
He makes me smile.

You are my very special boy,
And I hope I make you smile,
'Cause I love the way you smile,
The way you smile.

I love my very special boy,
When we smile together,
The whole world smiles,
We make it smile.

A bit cheesy, but so what? Hope it made you smile!

Smiles,
- Me<3
