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
