She Smiles

Her head turns when she hears my voice. She looks at me intently with that deep, dark stare. Her eyes, ever so slowly, meet mine and then there is.....nothing...for weeks. Then one morning, I pick her up and begin to quietly talk to her and tell her how much I love her. Like always, she carefully fixes her eyes on my face. Finally, the moment I have been waiting for...she smiles!
