A Shadow Of Your Smile

To reach with both hands into the day
a humble need to bow the knee to pray
laughter, smiles & love
Illumination

You sought a solution from the pain
not having you in my arms is driving me insane
We will walk hand and hand
together we will come to understand

A smile is contagious so pass yours on
a beacon of light to a hurting world in need
Look at the swam in the pond
alone in it's lost creativity

To dream a chance to unfold
a shadow of your smile exposed
We each have a purpose in life
never relent to ever give up the fight

faces, spaces & traces
An aura of twilight for all to see
living in the light of eternity
Long lines formed in the sand

Through life's struggles we can learn a lesson
a twilight sun has tainted my inner vision
We are all set out on a mission
Time will tell when this water will boil
