loved it when you smiled

Gregory Ramos 1961 (Azusa)



love it when you smile
 though it has been quite a while
 why
 when the weight of the world
 found it's place on your back
 burdened
 to be free in a pasture of laughing and loving
 careless
 stuck in the field yoked to the plow of deliverance
 want
 seemed like the right thing to do
 with who every came your way
 hopeless
 all you have to do is stop and breath
 cast your cares on him
 believe
