Just a smile given
to a soul that's lost in pain
lights a weary world


A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

That just might be all it takes. Plant the seed, and let it grow.

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.  --Joseph Addison (1672-1719)

Today, as smiles are found in sparseness scattered upon our lives, yours is truly a welcome sight.  A lovely smile you have and a lovely poem you write.  -Bob

Very nice work Ellie.     I'm not sure if you're aware but line one has six syllables.  Just letting you know because as a fan of japanese formats, I know how it is to sometimes accidentally throw in the extra syllable here or there.  
Still, I like this one quite a bit... wow, very uplifting message.  Great work.

Ellie~

My grandma always said -

"A smile looks back at you - when you share it with another."

This was a lovely reminder of that~
Thank you for sharing~
