"Smile" written April 4, 1998


Your face is exquisite, your form, the best,
	But one single part, above all the rest.
It is not your eyes, though they are deep blue,
	I do not see this when I look at you.
The skin thats so soft and smooth to the touch
	Is not the part that I cherish so much.
Though hair is important, it is not all.
	Nor is it form, though that is straight and tall.
That one thing I see (it shoots me a mile)
	Is the appearance of one bright smile.
