A Reason to Smile

A Reason to Smile

This day
          any other

The same
          and not

Always, your smile
          this day, especially

Without you
          just not the same

She’s always had it,
          your smile

Come this time
          next year

Hers will shine
          on this day, especially

And I will remember
