Keep those Irish eyes smiling
Though they’re sunken and tired
Tomorrow brings a new light
Let those hungry eyes catch a fire
May the fields feel the rain
And may you reap what you sow
Fill your stomach and empty your heart
Let the ones you love know
Good friends don’t come often
And lovers even less
But those Irish eyes will always be smiling
Until the day that they rest

A contagious smile always has smiling eyes above it. The older the smile is the more beautiful it is. Those who have lived through triumph and defeat, love and loss can cast joy through their gaze.

THE ONLY ELEMENT, LIKE GUM
In India, resides a peculiar element, indium, which possesses a unique characteristic – it's as malleable and gentle as bubble gum. For years, I've held onto a lump of this indium, but it wasn't until recently that I dared to take a bite. Surprisingly, sinking my teeth into it wasn't the daunting task I imagined. Like refrigerated Milk Duds, it softened gradually in my mouth, its metallic nature discernible through the vibrations of its twinning crystals.

Beautiful words our smile reflect what is in our hearts, the storms in our lives clear the way ahead, our sagacity drawn from our encounters and experiences.
