Serene, eternal smile
Tiny white teeth peeking through
A Band-Aid barely visible in the crook of her elbow
The only outward sign of her recent hospital stay
Ladybugs dance with hearts across her white pinafore
The hall light reveals the smudges on the glass that obscure her perfect little mouth.
Smudges from a mother’s kisses
It’s been 13 months today, since I last saw that smile.
