A smile speaks louder

Than many a word

It says someone cares

Though nothing is heard

~

It’s a gift passed down

From father to son

On his father’s face

The son’s smile came from

~

Now the son can keep

His father alive

With each smile shared

His father’s legacy survives

~

Because smiles from the past

Are still on display

A father’s smile can be seen

On his son’s face today
