Smile 1
I received a smile today
From a nice stranger
It lifted my spirits
Made me feel good
That smile was a gift
To be treasured
A Gift that needs to
Be given forward
Smile 2
Your smile reminds me
of an autumn breeze
Gently ruffling the leaves
And of a butterfly
Brushing a petal
Your smile floats wingless
Through the eternal ether
With a promise of a better
More fully loving and tender
Life ahead for both of us

I don't usually make comments, I just observe and read, but this is really beautiful.
Thanks so much Brie, for commenting! I do appreciate it.
A smile can break down even the most surly of folk: in a shop, on transport, in the street. I find a smile can always help and make a point of smiling at people - what a difference it makes. Love the write Fred.
Thanks Michael, my Mom used to say (this is a literal translation from German and may not make much sense in English): The way you yell into the forest, the forest will yell back at you!
It is absolutely amazing how many people react if you give them a BIG smile. They might have ported a big frown, but when they get your smile, their whole face lights up.
Smiles are so important in our lives and makes people react in a positive way (usually). Good write.

Sweet Fred. A smile is always gratifying. I think we should smile a lot more. In my pictures I look a lot younger if smiling.
Thanks Malu, we all look younger and more positive when smiling. Maybe people who are looking for the secret to stay young should just start smiling a lot more!
