Ripples of small gestures
Sometimes the smallest things can be the biggest deal for others.
You never know what your actions can have on others
Your smallest gestures can makes us wonder
Out of the blue you can give me a small smile
It makes me question into a state of beguile
This commences a ripple effect
My mood has changed I stand up correct
Confidence oozes through my veins
It's like today there's only gains
I pass it forward by opening doors
There's no one here that I'll ignore
One fleeting moment of attention
My attitude changed from descension.
It's not only the change of your facial expression
Your attention I can not question
The center of focus is for that small moment
It has me feeling as though this was meant
I know it may not mean much to you
You never know what people are going through
A smile has so much meaning behind the gesture
It's can be as enigmatic like an Escher
It can be playful like a playground
It can be potential friendship or a knockdown
The intent is always to make someone feel better
It's more powerful than any written letter
Smiles have an infectious ability
It can make the boldest person feel humility
A simple smile can motivate us to create art
It can also help us open up our hearts
Whenever a person smiles at me
Potential is so big I can't foresee
The color of the lips beam in the light
My heart so full it can ignite
The cheeks lift in mild amusement
I suddenly forgot to pay my rent
Eyebrows are lifted in relief
This moment I can't believe
Eyes fixated in my direction
I come up with more affections
This is only the story that comes from the top
The body tells an even more detailed backdrop
Nothing about the person should be ignored
The whole message has me hopping like a springboard
Your body language can tell me even more
All the small details hits me like a sword
Nothing is asked back in return
I did nothing for it to be earned.
My gratitude beams from my return smile
teeth exposed as if they were filed
I hope you know it wasn't simply a reaction
It's not just because it's a social interaction
Today it's harder to get someones full awareness
We're all stuck on our phones breathless
To have someone give their undivided attention to us
Everyone's a number but don't want to be treated as dust
That acknowledgement means more and more as the years pass
As I get older I cherish those moments before they elapse
Two seconds of a passing action
I can't believe I have such a reaction
Where does the time go
We all live life and go with the flow
Sometimes we don't think to smile at the people around us
Although we also don't want to feel it to be pretentious
To me it always feels good no matter the goal
Doing so will always have my attention stole.
So why not smile at everyone around you
You never know what they'll do
I know that it makes me happy
And I'm definitely a person that's sappy
So I'll smile at others whenever I see them
To me everyone is my fellow chum
Treat others how you'd like to be treated
So I'll be smiling and that's going to be repeat it
Next time you give someone a smile remember that it's appreciated
The day you'll be creating for someone else is happiness fated
There are 7 billion people in this world
Imagine 7 billions smiles circled around the world
The world would be a better place
So let's get all of those frowns replaced.
