I was walking out the door of the Spa
and he was walking toward me
I gave him a great big smile
my eyes lit up as if to say

“Hi there! How are you today?”

He looked at me and grinned
but as he walked closer
I blushed and turned away
he looked over his shoulder
smiling from ear to ear

I guess I should have told him
I thought he was my cousin Jimmy
I was embarrassed in a way
but just maybe, maybe I made his day  



"If music be the food of love, play on."  (William Shakespeare)

With that lovely smile you could make anyone's day.

Stars will shine when I am gone
Earth will spin on as before
Gulls still race along the shore
Morning star, still kiss the dawn

Victoria hi there this is a wonderful piece from you. Oh I hate it when that happens when you think you see someone and smile and then realise they aren’t who you thought they were. You definitely made my day, and have given me a smile thank you


Love and warm stuff
As always

at every pore with instant fires
