she smiles

To smile through tears
To smile through heartbreak and heartache
To smile with delight
To smile with deepening lines
To smile for others
To smile for their joy
To smile because of love
To smile because of faith
To smile when night falls
To smile when in glory she went home

To smile through the missing
To smile with pain gliding down your cheek
To smile for you because you should
To smile because the day will come
To smile together when by her side you again shall be


For mi cuñada.
