Her smile is wider than her head
A photo shows this when she was ten
Her brilliant eyes then shone so bright
Her teeth gleaming in black and white
And still after many colourful years
When distant childhood memories may bring on tears
She has that smile as wide today
What might spark it I cannot say
But it reveals like an evening primrose bloom
A late afternoon sunburst that fills the room.
