I've been given this choice,

I love myself
and through tears and trials,
I've conquered the demons
that have threatened the miles.
I walk and reflect,
and all the while
thinking of happiness that I desire.
The miles were lonely
and the burdens heavy,
but when the time came to reflect,
on what and when or have I done that yet,
it’s not what I’ve done it is what I’ve learned.

This smile

Life hasn’t chosen who I’ve come to be inside.
I've been given this choice,
life's lessons my guide.
I love myself

I've conquered the demons

I walk and reflect,
and all the while
thinking of happiness that I desire.
The miles were lonely
and the burdens heavy,

it’s not what I’ve done it is what I’ve learned.
It was then that I realized this smile I’ve earned.

Gogrl,
I thought this poem deserved A LOT of credit.
I could totally grasp your idea that a smile is a precious gift from God. Like, that smiling is just happiness at it's purest, you know? I just wanted to let you know that I really was touched by your writing.
Keep posting!

Peace easy,
JBelly
