About the Item
Give Me A Smile
Close your eyes,
Don't say a word;
Give me a smile,
And stay and weave me your part of tenderness,
Give me a little smile while I lie by your side;
And give me your smile, for the while,
May it guide us through the dark,
Give me a little smile while you lie by my side.
Beyond words we rest,
So leave the best Unsaid ("sibylle Baier")
Oil on canvas
Size: 24 x 24 inches
