Its that time of the
month and somehow I feel my mood swing is getting the better of me. Someone
caught my attention, an elderly woman hawking gala..she smiled.

| A Smile |
I was tired,fatigued
and needed more rest than the half empty bus could give me and then she smiled.
It was a knowing smile, she could almost feel what I was going through and I
responded with an appreciative smile.
Immediately I
remembered all the notable smiles I had encountered. The self-depreciating smile
a widow gives herself, the scornful smile the Policemen gave me when I reminded
them of my rights.
The plastic smiles
politicians and beauty pageant contestants readily show , the natural smile of
a child as he gazes into the unknown, the radiant smile of fulfillment when a
bride walks down the Isle.
For some others its
the smile of hope, hope for a better tomorrow, hope that things can only get
better. A smile for the good old days, memories of yesteryear's, with a tear
threatening to drop a smile still shines through.
I know recent happenings are not exactly smile worthy, but a smile is a gift, a hope,a thought that could bring forth a better future, if its sincerely from the heart.
