A Smile Lost

Just as another bud of the plant I saw and ignored Later when I looked at you again, the yellow circle felt like just another flower in the garden Sitting and swinging with the wind Looking in a direction with nothing to think Little did I know that you were the sunflower Sitting and looking at the sun and swaying while singing love songs in your heart Little did I know that I was your sun Now that I look back I see a chance that I lost A turn I missed in reaching my success A step I forgot to build in the stairs to reach heights And mostly a smile to get me going each day But in the end we only regret the chance we didn’t take
