A Voice & A Smile

Laura Stanislaw

It's a simple thing really
One little telephone call
And there it is...
A voice
So pleasant and calming
Yet strong and funny...
A voice
That reaches out and grabs a hold
Of lips
So sweet and soothing
Yet firm and aching
For that one thing a voice always brings
A smile.
A smile so happy and pleasing
That will always be there
Until the next call.
