The Million Dollar Grin

The Million Dollar Grin                                           March 17, 2006

I've been looking so hard

You'd think I was an archaeologist,

For I was rediscovering myself

And my past, for that matter.

Well, my past is a murky thing,

And I choose to make amends.

I never really had a lover,

But I think that's the first thing I'll do.

I think I shall set sail

Across the stars, land and sea

And reach out and grab one if I can

Through nature's bristly breeze.

You look spectacular,

Like a little taste of paradise.

New Years is January 1st,

But I think we can justify this being right.

I think you're beautiful,

The most beautiful pick of the litter.

I know of a reason now

Why I picked you to keep me company.

You have that one of kind thing

Simply called the million dollar grin

That has made it worth the sojourn.

They say there's someone for everyone,

And now I have no doubt that that is so.

You have the million dollar grin,

And sparkling eyes let it show your honesty.

Your million dollar grin tells a glorious story

Of where every man seeks to be at day's end.

Your million dollar grin was the shining beacon of light

I used to find the right port in which to dock.

I know I must sound ridiculous,

But this much I know is true.

Had I not you to carry within my soul,

I'd not be the happy man I am today.

There are many stone cold stunners

Lurking all over the earth's hallowed grounds

For each of us to go through and glean

To experience, to learn if they please,

But there's only one lady

With the million dollar grin.

I found the one which suited me,

And thus indeed, I did win,

And will revel in it for the rest of my days

As I flex my own grin.
