A Flower, A Kiss, A Smile

A flower, a kiss, a smile of love

Heartwarming gifts from up above

The hand of coldness disappears 

When we forget our chosen fears.

Just one experience of love

Gives hope and life in endless years

Of learning how to move our minds of stone

When many times we feel alone.

We are alone. The choice is ours

To offer a flower, a kiss, a smile

Is but the simple answer, for awhile

We search our minds in depth

We should find life a simple test.

When realization of the truth

Presents itself in all its youth

To all in age who still ask why

Just smile and love but do not cry
