My Mother's Magical Smile

As the blanket of darkness begins to cover the sky,
Eyes buried in tears greet me all while,
Every passing moment just becomes another reason to cry,
And somehow I forget how to smile.

As the stars twinkle away to glory,
I wait in despair for the kind touch that prays,
For a gentle whisper in my ears saying sorry,
Is all I need for the memories to fade away!

At the corner I see my mother with a quiet smile,
It feels like a ray of light,
It changes darkness into hope all while,
When she kisses away my tears and holds me with love so bright.

As the day dawns and unfolds its share of shambles,
I now carry courage that never lets me sigh,
For my mother’s gentle smile wiped away my tremble,
And gave hope that promises to never fade nor die!
