Those beautiful smiles
Sometimes have cried the most tears
Charitable hearts

Ed, i Love the Haiku and it speaks such truth in such few words. Who does know what lies behind the smiles? There can be the greatest pain. A seven and a fave for an excellently worded Haiku....Vladislav.

Ed, wisdom in a few words, how many times have I put on the mask of a smile while crying inside, or given a smile to someone I know is suffering inside,as I am sure many, many have, wonderful writing and thanks for visiting Oh The Tears with congrats ~~
