Slow down, take a look around at the
Many things you can see. Believe
In yourself and all the things you can be.
Let your eyes be opened wide, as
Each day starts anew. And
Find the beauty lying deep inside
Of you. Extend your heart and soul,
Reach out and let them know you care.
Turn their frowns upside down with just
One smile shared. And know down
Deep inside, you helped someone alleviate.
All the feeling in their mind, those of greed and hate.
Yes, you took away their grey, with just a simple
Smile For Today

Jay, just as you have said, you know so many things come from within me. There are a few people in my life that I could dedicate this to, form either or both aspects.

Storm, my dear, your words are so touching. This poem goes right from making the main subject feel good to them making someone else feel good. Such a beautiful piece, as I know can come from you. I would expect nothing less. Magnificent writing.
