'And you smiled is a significant statement, and as it repeats, it tells of its importance.
And what better way to express, than with a smile.
My best wishes.

Well done on this entry for the Memories contest. Nice picture of your wife, she looks happy and I am sure that was because she was doing something she loved. Hope you do well in the contest.

I found the poem to be lovely and moving already--then I read the notes. What a wonderful thing, to be remembered as one who was always smiling. You obviously have beautiful memories of your wife.

How lovely...Being able to remember someone we love because of their smile is precious beyond words. She does have a beautiful smile...it looks like it goes all the way to her toes.

Good luck in the contest.

Smiles, Carol

This poem uses repetition well to show the effect of a smile on other people around you and the memories they cause. It shows the effect of helping others too.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

I enjoyed reading your poem. You did a nice job with the prompt. Your writing is delicate with a heartfelt sentiment. I admire gardeners as I do not have a green thumb.

I like the short lines of this work. My one thought is the last line. To me it doesn't feel right. I know you may wish to be consistent with the repeating line, however, I do not believe it is necessary. My suggestion for the last line is - Your wonderful smile. Or whatever adjective you may choose to modify smile.

    Thank you for much, you are very kind. As far as the last line is concerned, I do appreciate your input. I am going to leave it the way it is. I know she would smile at that thought.

    Such is the power of an author. You can write what is in your heart.

    Harry, thank you, you are one of the good guys! The unknown author.

    At least my wife thinks so, most of the time.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Excuse me one minute while I get my tissue! What a wonderful tribute not only to someone you loved very much, but also to the relationship you built and the two people who emerged as one; not only did she smile, but you appreciated those smiles. The epitome of what marriages and memories should be. I love it and you have my vote! ann
