Gauntlet dropped
Question posed
Do you hide
Behind your smile?
Fumble for words
Thoughts screech to a halt
Do I? Hide?
Smile pasted
Motive questioned
Do I know what
Lurks behind my smile?
Words spin around
Emotions heat my cheeks
Does my heart
Match? My face?
By Tamara Wanner
Holy Spirit, know my heart. Keep me grounded in my Beloved. Capture all my wayward thoughts that judge, condemn and criticize. May my smile invite, encourage and show delight.
