IN A BABY'S SMILE
What is it we love about a baby’s smile?
What’s the magic in their smile we all see?
Is it purity, innocence, acceptance, happiness
beatitude…peace and harmony.
Or…when we see a baby smile…is it more than, at first, it seems?
Perhaps we see a shadow of our hopes…a reflection of our dreams.
A baby’s smile gives us a chance to think about our journey…
where we’ve gone in life…how far.
a reminder of who we once were…
and in this moment…who we are.
It’s possible…behind each baby’s smile we also see
a reminder of the person…we were meant to be.
If a baby’s smile has the ability
to give our heart and spirits a lift…
then every time a baby smiles at us
we should think of it as a gift.
And if an innocent baby can give a gift
to someone he or she doesn’t even know..
perhaps that is the reason
we tend to love their smile so.
