So Late To Return a Smile

I looked for a smiling face on the whole earth,
One day I saw a little girl looking through a window,
she smiled at me,
What else could be so alluring to me than that  smile, 
I was about to return her smile,
All on a sudden  a tempestuous wind was blown  
And shut the window on her face,  
A sadness  deepened around me,
I muttered my apology to dear little girl
for being so late to return her smile.
