The Face Tells A Story

I saw her face

as she held one she loved

and stood next to him

side by side.

The face was aglow

with deep contentment

and soft smile

that was radiant from deep

on the inside.

I've never seen her face

restfully "speak" of her love

as when I see her in photo's

with her wonderful son.

There are those in life 

that make us feel home.

They are those God-given 

and deeply connected ones -

our children.

Sometimes those ones 

can be a close friend, a sister,

a spouse or other acquaintances.

It's a sweet belonging.

But how I enjoy my friends face

when she feels right at home.
