Sweetness of Smile :)

A bumpy, grumpy ride we take,

On my birthday, joy at stake.

My eyes are wide, my mind afloat,

As through the window, I remote.

A little truck, so small and meek,

With faces worn and quiet cheek,

Among the crowd, a boy I spy,

A hoodie pulled, but bright, his eye.

His gaze, so curious, it roams,

Along the roads, away from home.

I smile, not sure why or how,

But in that moment, I feel now.

The ride picks up, the truck falls back,

Yet through the glass, I see no lack.

Then sudden brakes, the pace goes slow,

And once again, my heart does glow.

I spot him there, a smile so wide,

And as my car begins to glide,

I whisper prayers to slow the pace,

And in that moment, my heart did race.

Again, I see the boy’s pure joy,

Almost jumping with such deploy,

He waves his hand, so full of glee,

A silent bond shared between we.

The road ahead, the world so fast,

But in his smile, I’m free at last.
