=============
awake!
she rises with a smile,
my first waking vision of the day.
eyes smiled shut,
mouth open,
i can see all of your beautiful white teeth
all of them
and she laughs
adding a thousand watts to that beaming smile
genuine
heartfelt
warming
shining, lifting
bright
smile
that smile is contagious
(quick! someone call the CDC)
i've been wearing it all day.
in lovingkindness,
Ashley.
