make me smile.
like the Cheshire cat,
brighten up my day.
with blue sky's,
butterflies
and everything gold and gay.
make me smile.
like it's christmas time
and santa's coming soon.
with stockings,jingle bells, happy hearts
and reindeer flying over the moon.
make me smile.
like its all worth while
to be here everyday.
to hear your voice, feel your touch
to keep me warm in the months of may
make me smile.
like nothing matters,
not even the sorrows and doubtful thoughts
to cheer me up when the storms come
and when my heart is tied in knots
but most of all,
make me smile.
like my smile will never fade
i'll always have a big wide grin
thanks to the love
you have given from within,
thanks to the frienship you gave
