A smile <br />and that was it <br />she had you captured <br />and that was <br /> <br />the first time <br />you saw her <br />as you climbed aboard <br />the school bus <br /> <br />that November <br />and as you took <br />your seat toward <br />the back <br /> <br />you carried her smile <br />with you <br />and it seeped into <br />and seemed to enter <br /> <br />every pore <br />and veins <br />and artery <br />of your being <br /> <br />and when you <br />looked up front <br />there she was <br />sitting with her head turned <br /> <br />still gazing at you <br />and that smile <br />and those sparkling <br />blue eyes <br /> <br />and all the rest <br />of the kids on the bus <br /> <br />seemed not to be <br />seemed elsewhere <br />it was (at least to your mind) <br />just you and her <br /> <br />and that smile <br />and those eyes <br />and as you looked away <br />out of the window <br /> <br />the sun seemed <br />to make efforts <br />to shift clouds <br />to bless your day.<br /><br />Terry Collett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-smile-32/
