*Please, Smile*
I pray the life from which you came,
Had warmth and love and little blame;
That the profound sadness on your face,
Cries out for a yearned-for happy place;
That you heard a soothing lullaby,
That the laughter in you didn't die.
That although it may have been a while...
*something*, *somewhere* made you smile.
That someone rocked you; hummed a tune --
Before you had the name of June.
That the deep, black misery in your eyes,
Only reflects you don't surmise:
You're not being abandoned; you are reborn --
This time with ties that won't be torn.
That we have strength to show you how
To know the joy awaiting now.
Please, smile.
