Avacado Smiles

Avacado Smiles



I found spirit in time,
hands that moved about a clock face,

and fortitude that spread
the grin I needed to share.

It wasn't like saving pennies;
easy toss into a plastic jar -

it was harder than that,

like painting a perfect nose
on an alligator pear
waiting for it to smile.

The treasure was knowing
that care moved within my veins,
and vibrated your essence.

Happiness found its place.

I could only offer my hand;
soft words
and genuine concern

but you found them enough
to embrace your valor
and step forward.
