Carrying Your Smile - Feb. 17, 2011


With memories of great beauty, you sleep like an angel
Your wings resting with a confident air
While you sail on a ship looking for blessings
Setting fire to the bridges that cross
All your cares

You play in traces of clouds where you see your reflection
Revealed in the proud winds of your dreams
Watching time fade and travel to far away places
Where beauty rests in your imagination
To be redeemed

Standing by you now, watching you peacefully sleep
I can take refuge from my own cares
As I watch, all my blessings sail in on a ship
Carrying the smile on your face
I see there
