Small hopes, low expectations for smiles

            Smallness is the thought of a hope.
Expectations are all time low. Patience is spread like
a soft blanket. The silence is the learning steps taken.

            Seated upon a stair I clear my mind of all
thoughts but one. Still time will prove whether or not
that truth finds a home, a permanent location.

           Still the climb to wait, seems long. I must
lean upon Jehovah for there lies the answers. The
gentle kindness of everlasting love and support
when I don't understand.

           Holding onto my hopes. A shy smile
caresses my soul. A soft sheet of petals float across
my face, over my coppery curls. A light shines
bright inside spirit spreading throughout and changing
bright slate gray tones to deep navy blues.

           Soaring is the hope, the prayer to Jehovah.
One day an answer will be staring at me in the face.
Ah ha but until then Jehovah pulls his little girl closer.

          Today is one more day I get to learn. One
more time I get to inhale, exhale. One more smile
that waves throughout the wind to friends everywhere.

         So smile for the joy that is springing throughout
your soul. Smile for the overwhelming happiness that
is bursting inside your spirit. Smile and laugh hearty
because it brings such mystery to your eyes.

        Ah and smile because you know wherever you
are someone loves you as a part of family.
