A Kind Hello

Listen to poem:

Proverb 12:25 "Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up." a stray lost in her thoughts i saw her sitting there nursing a frown so i reached out compelled to offer a warm hello no reason no motive simple unadorned unpretentious the smile on her face~ it startled me made me forget my troubles suddenly all seemed so insignificant it was a smile~ that changed in one instant the color of my sky AP: Honorable Mention 2020.
