Smile

Ever notice… what we don’t notice in our lives
Within the smallest victories a chance to find tranquility
They… slip by
And in our quest for something more
The what I have’s slip out the door
The what I don’ts then flood the mind
But miracles are there to find
An ice cream cone in the hot summer sun
I catch the drips in time before they run
And I Smile.
A feeling of complete accomplishment
Without the need for their acknowledgement. I smile
ever notice the imperfections are just perfect?
it means no one is anymore
than me or you… or the guy next door
it’s so obvious
a long day coming to an end
a greeting from your furry friend
and choosing the I knew you could’s
instead of all the think you should’s
(Repeat Chorus) (Chorus 2)
the perfect pair of jeans the perfect size
are waiting there for me before my eyes
I smile, when I’m at peace with all I see and do
but doing nothings just the thing to do… I smile
(Bridge) a sparkly macaroni card
pasted together by the hands of a child
a concert in an open field in perfect weather
with the one by your side
