Someone tried to make me smile <br />and she did <br />Just like that, out of the blue <br />She was you! <br /> <br />On this day suddenly I felt so sad <br />coming across old memories I didn't know I had <br />and I paused to write the feelings down <br />But not for you to stumble on them and make you feel bad or frown <br /> <br />You're reading my poems <br />Feelings that even to those close to me <br />are as of yet, mostly unknown <br />today I feel lost and so alone <br /> <br />My friend, who I just did meet <br />Please don't be so fleeting <br />I felt blessed with our meeting <br />and felt to your caring heartbeat <br /> <br />My writing is snippets of emotion <br />Not meaning to hurt and cause commotion <br />but rather to heal and mend <br />appreciative of the fragile gift of finding a friend <br /> <br />So let me turn your frown back into a smile <br />Feel at home in my company <br />Stay for a longer while <br />And later judge me after we've walked hand-in-hand for a mile <br /> <br />But for now, let me thank you for your smile!<br /><br />JAMES T.
