Love the idea you presented in your senryu. The best serendipity one could have. Congrats here, Caycay

Sometimes it only takes a smile to instill hope. Quite the serendipitous Senryu, written with deep emotion, CayCay.

A smile and a kind gesture have such power to save one from slipping into doom. Powerful senryu.
