Gabby's Smile

We're in the park
under shady trees.
 
An 18 month old
child stops to visit.
 
She wears purple
blue and pink.
 
Exploring grass
as new as she is.
 
Doesn't cry
when she falls.
 
Tightly hugs her
stuffed toy bear.
 
I bring my water
bottle close to me.
 
Bitsy golden curls
cover her head.
 
Beams when I say
"how beautiful''.
 
Her eyes are two
blue cups of  joy.
 
Remembering
Gabby's glow.
 
Still can power up
my mornings.
