December

I met the girl who invented the smile

or God used to perfect it's style

I can't say I know her yet

If I was to speak truth to it

But i'll try to know her yet

i can't settle for anything less

she don't need the best dress

or my best tux my best vest

secure in who she is

she moves with intention and with grace

causing me the need to check pace

on my advancements and my now challenged thoughts on fate

I believe now to have scratched the knowing of what perfection is

believe me or not

imperfection is perfect for us all

living to make pictures for our walls

drawings for our history to remind us at the end of a trip or a fall

that in the end we get to begin it all ounce more

isn't that what it's all about

new beginnings same folk

old smiles new jokes

If I could have seen your smile tonight

I hope you smiled tonight

I might have never needed another night

i'll spend it wisely trying to fight from breaking out one of my own

just thinking of you at home alone

that smile reaching out across the country to light the beginning of my day

mixed in with the suns rays
