Your Smile

by It Itty   Dec 1, 2004


Feeling depressed...not knowing why.
Having a rotten time, but not wanting to die.
No one notices because of this mask I wear--
To others, I look happy, cool, and content.
But inside I'm screaming.
I'm annoyed with myself for wanting more attention.
I find things coming from my mouth, things I know I don't want to say.
All these things build up and make me depressed, ruining my day.
But then you looked at me and smiled.
Touched my shoulder and simply told me have a nice day.
I will now, thank you so much!
For that was all I needed, someone showing me I'm not invisible and that they care.

God works in mysterious ways.
Reminding us of His greatness in subtle sings.
Have you ever had the urge to tell someone to have a nice day...it can make a wold of difference.
