With a smile,

I greet them every day

Whether I’m happy or sad

Or grieving or mad.

 

With a smile,

I want them to feel safe

And warm and loved.

 

With a smile,

I teach them to touch

the soft moonlight with their pens.

We write together

to be honest,

to be proud,

to be human.

 

With a smile,

I pray for them

Holding them tight

With my faith,

With my heart,

With my paper and pen,

With a smile.
