For a While...

I was in a mall Accompanied with my family that was across the hall I was shopping for some clothes When something made me lose my delightful blows I can not remember what made my smiles to vanish Yet, I remember a pure face that was so lavish In fact, that face untied my mouth's lace of sadness As my lips curled upward into a smile of happiness That face belonged to a cute baby Placed in his mother's hands of sweet lullabies... I looked at him when I was sad and felt so guilty when showing him a face so sad Thus...I lifted a smile upon my face And so the baby's eyes embraced with happiness and laughter upon his voice As he smiled, for it is always his first choice... It was then when I realized that small things can make you glad Even if it's a baby in his mother's hand Or the view of nature's beauty spread all over the land... For life is short So embrace every moment's displaying court... For all that is needed to enjoy your time is a smile Gifted to you by small and happy things for a while...

Very pretty poem. It is the little things in life that count. Too much materialism deadens the senses. God Bless. Vince
