Smile

dedicated to Cheri & Travis

you're often in my thoughts
your silly antics and
thoughtful gestures
still make me smile
then I remember
the pain
and the loneliness returns
threatening to overtake me
again
and I cling to the hope
that somehow I touched your life
in a good way
and that when you think of me
those thoughts
still make you smile
