Smile

Never again will your 
Smile greet me, broad
With delight, as if I 
Bring the bright light 
Home, giving me your
Sunshine for mine. It
Is a greeting I wish 
I could hold in real
Life, not just in my
Mind's eye, in memory
Never again will your
Love shine its welcome
Upon me as I turn the
Corner and catch your
Eye, as happy to see
You as to be seen and
Welcomed, a smile for
Every muttered I love
You, for each kiss you 
Accept, as pleased as 
You are pleased. Never
Again, only in memory
And dreams. I am glad 
For the memory of your 
Smile. It is all I have
This acknowledgement
Of our love.
