Let it Out!
Let a smile overcome you-
a simple gift
which heals deeply
and welcomes another in return.
Tell a story of
your Life with the meaning you give it.
Let it out!
Open the gushing faucet
and savor the Joyful Child within you.

Dave,
Exactly my sentiment. What a terrific photo to use to caption such a simple expression of joy.

I love your choice of words in the final line. The word “savor”looks like “savior”at first. This really puts an interesting spin on my take on this beautiful little nugget:)
Thank you both. I don’t feel much like smiling right now. I’m shivering from a fever right now,so I’m off to bed.

Smiles heal best when we don’t feel like doing it. I hope you’re smiling and healing right now.
I love your sentiment…and your way with words. Feel better.
Ciao,

Thank you Betty and Teri- I’m making chicken soup from scratch. Once you’ve had it there’s no turning back. Then I’m gonna veg on the couch and watch movies. Vegging is really hard for me to do,being such a doer!
Feel better Garnet! Loved your cheerful poem and the picture.
My inner child is smiling right now,heck my outer middle aged shell is smiling too.
Be well Garnet,and don’t forget to drink lots of green tea.
Anna- thank you. I’m already on the mend.
fineartist- Is green tea good for colds? I’ll have some tomorrow for sure!
Garnet,Even when you’re sick,you have the power to bring joy to others. What a wonderful gift.
Thanks Patry,nice to see you. Sometimes I try to nudge myself into a better mood with these little ditties. It’s as much for me as for anyone else.
beautiful photo and lovely poem:)
healing and joy are what you seek –hope you’ll find them soon!
Garnet,I hope by now you are feeling better,or at least starting to. Thanks for the big smile. I hope there is soon one on your face,too!
I’m all better. Whatever gripped me has mysteriously disappeared without a trace. I think it just didn’t dare mess with me. My immune system said “Outta here,bub!”
I’m smiling at the lovely poem and the beautiful peacock. Such a creative pairing and so you to put them together. How light,how airy.
Bravo.
YEA!
Thanks Liz,It’s good to see you. Yes,the peacock smiles with his feathers,a BIG smile. It works. G
Sending you a B I G smile
