Smile

written by: Mitch Bensel

@MitchRambling

Sip a little beverage with me
Talk of this and that
Let me see the way you smile
softness abounds
I have gone from the sports car
To the slow comfy ride
Ease against me with that
Comfy you are
Sip a little time with me

I Am From by Lauren Scott

I am from my mom’s emotions
that had a mind of their own
so wild at times emulating a summer storm
I am from my dad’s humor
where smiles bloomed
but his temper too in my less patient moods

I am from flower petals I did not plant
Mom’s were nurtured – my thumbs weren’t green
yet the petals’ beauty is always seen
I am from butter, sugar (granulated and brown),
vanilla, baking powder and soda,
and nuts, yes, sometimes this is the case,
and chocolate chips in their tantalizing ways...
