Where is your smile Magdalene,
The Orion of the Southern World?
Autumn is here and the leaves divorce the trees.
All our deeds have done is get us quarantined,
And your smiles beam for us, sweet girl.
After these winds come the cold and the freeze.
So where is that beautiful smile?
Though the unbearable circumstances came
Still you stood strong and versatile
Condemned to contempt and shame,
Yet ever so highly you held the torch
Yea, always you countered every blotch.
I would love for you to smile again
In spite of the apprehension, anger and pain.
Forgive and forget, don’t relive and regret.
You’ve got much to realize, and more to beget.
I love you too much to leave you so emotionally wrinkled,
So smile once more and show us the teeth that once twinkled.
