Magic of a Smile

Those glimpses of another person you see what is inside of them when they smile.

A baby smiles

Shines with delight

What makes one happy

Watch a friend

Their eyes lit up with a grin

Your parents face

As you walk across the platform

To get your diploma

Sensing their cheer from across the room

Even tears of joy

Smiling with adoration

A man on the streets,

Slip him a smile

It will go for miles as he feels acknowledged

A crying mother

On the day of her daughters wedding

Happy but lonely is she

A father

Walks his baby down the isle

To be with another man,

Beaming and proud,

How magic is a smile...

Oh Kathryn...I love this. So simple, yet so meaningful.
Just watch the faces of the lonely in Nursing homes...how their faces light up when you stop to touch a gnarled hand and give them a hug and a smile. They will live on that for weeks!

I doesn't cost a thing to acknowlege someone...it may be the only contact they've had that day.

When you give a smile to someone...God is smiling back at you!

Well done.

"How magic is a smile..."
Another amazing write!!! Smiles indeed are magical and really can go on across the miles!!!

Smiles at times are wonderful signs of emotion....
but at other times....(not to be negative)....
smiles are like band-aids,
they cover up the hurt,
not fix it.

On the other hand,
great poem.

smiles are a great way to show affection, or just simple kindness. and no matter who you are, what you're doing, where you're going, and why it takes only a second to stop look and turn anothers' day.
very impressive and effortless.

A smile will always force you to smile back, it is a natural and a great feeling, nicely done Kathryn.

Nice treatment. Vignettes in snapshot phrases. A good bit of storytelling as well. Good show. Tough to do well. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers!
Doc.
