May be even a Smile

Her sigh sipped through the leaves

Hinting for the tears to follow

Surrounded by darkness

The definition of hope was forgotten

She stared at the stars

Laughing at yesterdays memory

Stars are just stars

Who was she to make more out of them!

But she would try this last time

“ A friend to talk to is my wish”

She whispered

A distinct voice made her aware of those nearby

Looking up she noticed his smile was peaceful

Even reassuring, it gave her

Hope

Tears of joy rolled down her face

she smiled in return

Only then did she realize

the purpose of the star was

to give hope to those in the darkness

to remind her of the beauty still in the world

and maybe even make her smile.

There's Always Change.

He made a request
not thinking wisely
just a second chancewas all he asked for
as it was given the same way was it taken

What could be said of a man who thought
only of now but not next
who could blame him
for being desperate.

He cried at his time of need
but forgot to smile when he had it all
he failed to remember one thing
change
it was always around the corner
I advice him to turn down the pride
and remind him thatit was gone for a while
it would be back to test him
I hope he remembers to smile next
