It might not be your smile, for
some days there is less to smile
about, but within you there is
experience, and wisdom;
lessons learned from a lifetime
of moments and memories.
It is within you.
Let it out.
Perhaps it’s just your being,
and being there brightens
the room with all that you are.
Let people know, and see,
what you are all about.
Their lives will be brightened
by the mere fact you are there,
and by what you bring into
the room.
Your life will be enhanced by
what is reflected back, and
your room will become brighter.
Just by being there.
