Smiles for miles

by Jesse James Doty

 

 

When I was a child

I carried my troubled woes

down to the tips of my toes.

 

As I grew older

I carried the weight of a boulder

on top of my shoulder.

 

Now that I have achieved

a deliberate style

All of my friends receive

My biggest smile for miles.
