When I was asked what my favorite body part was?

When I was asked what my favorite body part is?

It was not the kind of question
I get asked every day

When I mentioned
this question to my friends
they all thought for a second
and laughed…

so I thought I would
ask those close to me what they thought

someone said the soft tissue
on my hand between my thumb
and second finger
it has no known use
but it is a soft place to hide feelings
and provides a hook to hold on too…

someone else said my hands
because they are able to express
what I am feeling inside
and my hands are what I use to write
down my poetry

another person told me
it was my tongue
that is able to pierce the space
between her mouth
with my warmth

for me I think
it is my smile
which is often the first thing
they notice when they see me.

and when I saw another wrestling dad
in Minnesota at a wrestling tournament
a week after his daughter died
he said he was glad he did not stay home
but support the team, because his daughter was
the team manager

and he was happy to see me
because he said
my smile reminded him
of his daughter, who was always happy
and smiling
