And the Smile Beamed

Realities --- break ---

And the Smile Beamed --- break ---

A child's laugh,
A friends hug,
A lovers caress,
These are the things,
That make my day,
To know I'm worth something,
To be able to give and need nothing in return,
To trust without fear of pain,
To be as free and expressive,
As physical constants permit,
These are the things that keep me alive,
And the smile beams.
