Smile is Enough

Do you know I love you? We don't know each other but I do. I do love you.

You are with me every night. I just need to glance over to see you. See you how you were. That's no longer you and I know this. Still your smile warms me.

Life changed for you. I'm praying for the best.

Last couple of  weeks I was reminded how in a moment's notice, lives can change during a dark hour. A shot and lives are amiss. No longer allowed to be as it once was. Changes in direction are forever altered for those remaining in the aftermath.

Terrible thing has happened. Life drops on you from out of nowhere. You may or may not be ready. Won't say more except that its was in the front page. I visit her. Eyes are glazed and hope is hard to find. Still she smiled and I am reminded that the happy and sad endings are dependent where you decide to stop  the story.

Despite the funeral. Despite the SNIF. Despite Lost Time and missed opportunities. Despite Anger, Rage, and Regret. Despite all that obstacles, challenges, and heart aches.

I am reminded by a Smile.

Perhaps its folly. Perhaps its wishful thinking. Perhaps it too Little too Late.

I am reminded by a Smile that I must forget my own limitations. Forget my preconceived notion of what is possible. I must be reminded that Universe and Big Smile has a way that is beyond I can imagine.

I will look ahead and base it on a Smile. All things are possible.

Just a Smile.
