Two Smiles

FredPeyer

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.

                  • FredPeyer

                    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!
