Sweet Smile

 

Is taken for granted

Never understood for the depth and meaning it has.
 
Delivered using muscles more and heart less,

For the sake of formality more and for the sake of joy less.

 

It seems so tough to smile as

Mind chooses to remember the wrong,

Ego can’t love anyone but itself,

Melancholy wins over celebration,

Heart yearns to love but the mind refuses to forgive,

One chooses to keep the hatred and fear in others alive,

Without which one’s own fears and doubts surface,

And in many a person

Intelligence thinks to itself whether the world is worthy of a smile now.

 

But a smile when genuine can

Convey the message of the heart through the eyes,
Remove the awkwardness of the moment,
Replace doubt with faith,
Eases the tension in the air,
Bring a smile on another’s face,
Make the existing bonds stronger,
 
Make even a stranger, a friend,
Can dissolve the boundaries if any between you and me

Become a prayer that is silent but is filled with so much meaning.

My cute little nephew

My brother and sister-in-law's baby boy was born day before yesterday and I eagerly rushed to the hospital in the evening to see my nephew...   As I looked into the face of my nephew, time stood absolutely still, I forgot everything and saw only the wonder in front of me, I was smiling so much and was filled with such selfless joy that reflecting on that moment now, I can understand what enlightenment could probably mean, it would probably be a permanent state of such joy. I saw the most wonderful sight ever, the small little eyes which opened to look at us was filled with such pure innocence that it kindled a deep beautiful emotion in me. His tiny pink hand with the long slender fingers was like trying to create something in the air or maybe simple captivating us all with some magic in them. And then he opens his small little mouth with the red lips as if to show us how he can bring the universe to his attention by that one single gesture. Being the mother of two adora...
