There was a time when smiles were free laughter creating sunshine wherever I might be I looked for laughter tonight or even just a smile but I couldn't find one anywhere So I gave up after a while But then I wondered to myself why happiness is rare and came to this conclusion that life isn't always fair It seems that when we're up and feeling all aglow a reminder comes along just to let you know That round the corner that smile may disappear and once again, you like me may instead see one small tear So when things make you happy enjoy them to the full because I for one can tell you just one small smile is very beautiful ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. |

Good advice for all....of course, falling tears can make rainbows, too. |

RainbowGirl... watch out!!! Poetwheel wants to show you his etchings! lol Queen - I agree with your sentiments 100%. "This too shall pass," is wise counsel for us all. I liked the way you led me into that sage advice, going from a personal event to a more general conclusion. |

I have to look at rainbows Standing on my head Cause when I’m stood upon my feet They look like frowns instead But fortunately……. No frowns upon my face are cast When I read the words you write Go and write another gem right now And post it here tonight |

It's those random acts of kindness that often mean the most and make the biggest difference. Your poem illustrates this point well. A big toothy grin to you and yours. |
