The Boy With the Special Smile


The boy in the back with the special smile
With the eyes that smile
And the lips that smile
When they choose a boy for a mission,
For a task or a trial
They never choose the boy with the special smile

They choose the boy beside him, with the stern young face
With the soft dark eyes
With the soft brown curls
They choose the boy beside him
And give him the place
They always choose the boy with the stern young face

The boy with the smile never utters a word
He stands by the choice
No protest with his voice
The boy with the smile needn't speak
To be heard
He loves the stern boy and never utters a word
