Smile in my eyes

He did not expect, me.

In wintertime, he had his day off,

with his wife, my grandmother.

She never used red lipstick, anyway.

At a safe place, a shelter, he looked

at the results of my hands.

In silence, letters became beautiful colours.

He took care of his garden without education.

The whole family loved his restless love … .

He wanted, to change the desire,

the fool of hearts, in one moment.

I am a smile of his older eyes.
