Smiles
Smiles are the preciouse gems that add a special glow,And fill the world with sunshine in spite of daily woe. Smiles are the soft ,white clouds that cushion every blow; And chase away misgivings among our friends and foe. Smiles are the rainbows that appear when storms are through; They turn our pain to joy again our courage we'll renew. Smiles are the bridge between the darkness and the light; When sharing them with others,new friendships we invite. (Angie Monnens)..I will never forget how big and beautiful aunt lorraine's smile was . i no everytime i look up she will be smiling down on us all from heaven. just one word to describe aunt lorraine is "SMILE"
