Smile

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.
It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.
~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

There is a smile that imprints in my heart and soul. It is the smile that brings me to joy and solitude.

Now I see the smile. What a wondrous smile! It lasts for few seconds yet the magic it continuously brings to me is eternal. Now, as I close my eyes, I see the timid, sweet little smile. It lights up my world. Now, my world shines, shimmers! It awakens my heart from deep slumber. It is indeed an enchanting smile - a smile that transcends beyond the world I believe I have known.

The smile takes me to another world - a very beautiful world. I see it like the biblical Eden, where I feel all the glories - no haste, no worries, no fears.

Why in this world fruits lost its sweetness? Why in this world smile fades out?

The smile is now gone. Where is the most beautiful smile I've ever seen? Where is the smile that made me man enough to face uncertainties? Where is the smile that assured me that I will be picking upon joys from disappointments?

Now, I miss the smile. And I'm sad. It makes me sad.

One day, I know, I see your smile again.

A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those that give. It takes but a moment, but the memory lasts forever.
