I ended up with two different poems today. Both seemed to express the same thought, but I wasn’t sure which one to post. I decided to include both.

*****************************
a smile
then simple words
that changed my world
an exploding smile
laughing

My Dad’s Exploding Smile

I wasn’t thinking
when I entered the room
and I didn’t know why I came
but somehow you knew
and your greeting made me smile
then you told me a story
with twists and turns
and ended it with perfect timing
and bursting out
from somewhere inside
I felt my smile exploding
and I laughed
and I laughed
