Smiles
© 5/29/01 Dennis L. Pickering Smiles are greetings at chance meetings Given to those across the street. Smiles are what we can give freely Rather than shout over some din. Smiles acknowledge distant respects From those with whom we’re not well-known. Whether they aspire to know us Is a choice that can be delayed? Smiles are healthy features of us Given to others in our lives. Smiles show good nature to others Which is what we want them to see. Smiles are things that cost us nothing Which signify acknowledgment Of another’s forthright greeting To you across the avenue. Smiling signifies happiness To slight acquaintances we see On ever succinct occasions Just encountering on the street. Given freely to most others Smiles are difficult to withhold. From familiar passing strangers Who allots happiness to all? Written May 29th, 2001 © on Aug 28 2001 03:35 PM PST, Dennis Pickering 0 • 10
