The Boy with the trillion pound smile

The Boy with the trillion pound smile

The boy with the trillion pound smile,
a smile that could circle the earth,
which could warm the Antarctic and melt all the ice,
could charm birds from the trees and cheese from the mice

The boy with the trillion pound smile
has eyes which twinkle so bright
that tell of a wisdom so ancient and deep
and lighten the darkest of nights

The boy with the trillion pound smile
has parents who love him so dear
that they’d give their last breath for him,
fight any fight to ensure he has nothing to fear

The boy with the trillion pound smile,
why aren’t all children as lucky as he?
He suffers no violence, no cruelty or hate,
he’ll grow and he’ll thrive happily, how lucky can some children be?

The boy with the trillion pound smile
is the Prince of my Heart there’s no doubt,
he is my grandson, my future, my past
he is what life’s all about.
