Insecurity

Someone smiled at me today To that someone I smiled back Have to say it felt real good Felt like something understood Took me out of my dismay Brought my senses back on track Watched as she walked down the street Thought it would be nice to meet Up I stood and walked away Confident I had the knack I walked slow and felt so cool Nicer contrast to the fool It’s amazing how this works How a smile transforms us berkes

Such a simple act of fellowship -- a smile -- truly can raise our spirits. This is a wonderfully written observation, David, and your poem goes to my favorites. Love, Carolyn
