I caught a smile one day

On a hook i cast into this life

It tried to escape

With all of its might

Diving into the deep darkness

They have been so elusive of late

But in the end

We reeled it in

You and i

Watching it break the surface

Shining in the morning light

And I’m sure it would have escaped

If not for the effort

You put in with the net;

I hope we catch another one

Tomorrow.
