I open my eyes and there’s that smile.

It’s like you are ready for me,

Stroking that strand of hair back,

Kissing me on the forehead,

And simply saying good morning,

I love you.

I love that smile.

You ask me about my dreams and tell me about your nightmares and all I want to do is hold you close and protect you.

Even talking about your fears you have that smile.

I’m so grateful for that smile that gives me this morning life.
