Wise Eyes, Sunny Smiles	Home- Poetry
A child laughs at the antics of the Cat and mouse on television And for a moment she is young Free But illusion is shattered like a vase on The cartoon She smiles from an old face Studies the world through wise eyes Existing in a dual reality of Beginnings and ends She’ll endure always with a sun filled smile Painting prettily pink fingernails Celebrating her 10th birthday Delighting in the simple play of make-believe Even while her body betrays and Sends her spiraling into youthful old age And even after the workings of her body Fail She’ll continue to live And laugh And smile Through those who have been touched By her strong spirit and courage
