Many smiles,
Fake.
Many laughs,
Fake,
But so much pain, is so real.
Sitting in the shadows.
Shrouded in the pain.
Holding it all back,
And some how letting a smile come forth.
You step aside when everyone moves on,
And give me the will to step into tomorrow.
The warm embrace of your gentile hug,
Lets me know you are a gift from above.
Your smile begins to lift the blanket of pain
And lets the light shine once again.
