Give a Smile

I went downtown yesterday And this is what I saw People running in a flurry In the streets and in the malls. They do not stop to say hello Or when they are off a quick goodbye And if you try to talk to them In an instant off they fly. This is speaking for today. But what will tomorrow hold? Will they have an open hand? or will their deck completely fold? It will be a brand new day So you may walk slower for a while And if you choose not to speak Then hurriedly give a smile.

I am guilty at times of running through the mall on a mission...I think society needs to slow down enough to smile, a smile from another can warm the soul. Smiles for you :)

It would be lovely to get the world to slow down and enjoy each others company. You have identified a step we all need to make. Great write
