What Is a Smile For

to all I have known and yet to meet
those who  passed beyond  and  those yet to greet
a smile to bid farewell,  and to welcome  a face
no words are spoken  just a sense of grace.

Truly a fitting greeting or farewell. Nicely expressed, Douglas. Just the right touch here. Best wishes, Gershon
