Poem


A smile crossed my path today.
And as all life it was brief in its pausing way.

No tale did it utter forth to say,
But that all life is a cluster of smiles in a way.

So I carry this to sunsets and tarry it afar,
Knowing that a smile is rare and to find, too hard.

A smile crossed my path today.
Little did it utter but much it did say.
