I’ve seen you smile
bright enough to dim the sun
and blind me
I’ve heard you laugh
and been nearly overwhelmed
by the joy your laughter carries
but I’ve yet to see you truly happy
only moments
tiny flashes
split seconds in the fabric of time
so much less than you deserve
…but what can I do?
How can I help you find your happy?
What can I do to find your joy?
I’m standing here
with an outstretched hand
and open arms
ready to give you everything in my power
to see a real smile
one that actually reaches your eyes
to hear the joy of laughter
and see the spark inside
