Your Smile

Hour 6, Prompt 14, Year 2021

When I wake up in the morning I turn and look at you
Sleeping, head resting on left bent arm
With a smile on your face
A pure, sweet smile
Devoid of any worries of the day
The same smile I noticed when we first met
A welcoming smile when you introduced yourself
The same smile you have when we dance together
Me in your arms, no place either of us would rather be
The smile that cracks open quickly when there’s good news
And slowly when I need some cheering up
The same smile, a smile of comfort, of peace
We’ve had our share of ups and downs
But I know I can always count on that smile
The smile that never fails me when I need it
That warms my heart more than my morning coffee
And as my heart brims over with warmth and love
I imagine my future children
I know this is the smile I want them to have
