When she smiles, it's sunshine

There are people all around me,
But all I see is her.
Those pearly-white imperfect teeth
And clear large smiling eyes.
She looks at me and smiles a bit
And then I realize,
When she smiles, it's sunshine
Pure, sweet, joy.

I wonder what she'll do today.
Will it be a new word,
Or a whole new sentence?
Jump a little higher, or run a little faster?
Hug a little tighter, or smile a little brighter?
I watch closely so I always can remember
For when she smiles, it's sunshine
Pure, sweet, joy.

Peaceful in her sleep, tumultuous when awake
Never a dull moment
Even when being good for my sake.
I want to see her future, hold onto her past
But nothing trumps the present. A reminder - Not so fast.
For when she smiles, it's sunshine
Pure, sweet, joy.
