A kind gesture leaves a warm smile
a little something that gladdens the heart
simply by taking the time
is a gift to me
when I least expected it
for the silence is all too familiar
when the night settles down
what has become my forever companion
stirring the mourning hours
save for the smile you left for me.

A beautiful write. A smile has the magic to make the dark a little less alone.

Sometimes that's the only gift that's possible -- how lucky for us that it's just about the best one. It rewards the giver and the receiver as well.

The simple gifts of time and a smile are two of the greatest gifts of all. Just a few short years ago a dear friend showed me that sunshine and smiles can make the world go around. I trust you will have copious quantities of both. Take care!

Hi there WhiteRose~ A little less alone, you are so right!
Good to see you here and thank you.

Ed~ Sometimes it may be the only gift, but it is a priceless one,
and those are the best kind. Hugs and all that!

Thanks for reading chinesestone, warm the heart it did, indeed.

Eddie~ Thank you for your sweet inspire, and your thoughtful reply.

Yes, the hours have been known to drag,
and that is exactly why the little things mean so much.
Thank you Dixie~

You are so sweet, thanks for leaving that for me!

It's good to be reminded of how important our small gestures can be, and Bluesy, you did it so beautifully.

Lori, for one who has the smile of all smiles, yours surely would beget many a smile in return.

To give a smile to another, is to gift oneself as well, for it usually is returned to us. I am happy for you that you received that smile that was so special for you. You deserve it, Dear Lori!

~ May all your "mourning" hours become filled with loving smiles for you.

'n smiles,
Linda
