This Smile
In the Pantheon that holds the riches of man
You will find, with little effort, this smile.
This smile, with cleft chin and warm dimples
Makes those who gaze - long for days more simple
This smile, whose very light does dull the sun
Makes Helen’s look like candles number by 1
This smile is the one of a friend like-minded
And the heart and hands of one most kindly.
This smile like kindling forms laughter and joy
In the psyche of all friends and little fanboys
This smile is one that knows no real end
And is the smile of someone I call friend
