I Smiled At Someone Today

by Edie M. Batstone — Read all 134 poems by Edie M. Batstone

If you want to know what eternity is, look no further than your smile; The kindness in your eyes and the breadth of your smile is the most precious gift we can offer; Once it is given, it doesn't just go away, it is an irreplaceable stitch that is woven into the fabric of life - for eternity.

Monday, July 31, 2017

I smiled at someone today - I smiled that smile forever.


When my heart is numb,
My mind a blur,
And I've pushed away the memories there,
I reach into my trembling heart,
And feel a warmth come over me,
For I find that smile still shining clear.

Within that smile,
I see those eyes,
And I hear a voice that calls to me,
"All the love I've given you
Is yours for all eternity."
Edie Batstone

YES...! WE CANNOT DENY THE PRESENCE OF HIS ETERNAL POWER THAT SHINES THROUGH IN A TRUE, SMILE FILLED WITH HIS LOVE FROM ABOVE. SO WELL DONE, EDIE, THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Your poem made me smile. On the other hand, the thought of reaching into a beating, trembling heart sounds like a horror that one should try to avoid ;-).
