    There are days when expressions and feelings flow without a hitch and there are days when there is a huge gap between the first line and the next...somehow the encouragement from all of you has kept up the flow, only my frozen shoulder has been giving me enough problems..well could not resist posting this one..

    (who said dreaming and gazing was human right alone..)

    I am walking around
    With a smile that feels sly,
    Of all the good things that happened,
    When you were by my side,
    I look around if people notice,
    The secret smiles that I happen to wear.

    A memory, that is so fresh, of the things,
    That we shared, the thoughts that echo
    About the common thread of understanding,
    The mutual admiration and adulation,
    The restlessness to share..
    I look around if people notice,
    The secret smile that I happen to wear.

    The marked pages, the pictures,
    The news, the food, the kids,
    I wonder what would be your comment,
    Or argument, praise, and I know.
    I look around if people notice,
    The secret smiles that I happen to wear,.

    Memories, the touch, the look,
    The spring in your walk,
    the lilt in your laugh,
    The sharing and the caring .
    I am sure will be the same when,
    White is the color of my hair,
    Wrinkles form deep furrows,
    love that we share,
    the love that has grown
    I look around if people notice,
    The secret smiles that I happen to wear.

    "The secret smile"- good one!!! The poem is very good.

    Memories of anyone is very important. sometimes, when i hear some songs ( of course form 60's and 70's), I have a secret smile on my face which gives me happiness and let my memory live for a while. Thanks a lot for this poem and going back to my teenage years!!!!!

    Cl, Thanks a lot. wow, you went to your teenage years.

    i do have so many of those songs, because we are a musically krazy family who make up lyrics of our own to the tunes that are cool according to my kids..(well i suppose cool sums up everything..)

    This is was a dedication to dh on our wedding anniversary on 27th and that was the 18th year of wedded bliss or not is a topic of debate at home..

    Thanks for joining me and I am so happy to have been instrumental in your voyage through memory lane, and yes i can see your smiles..
