*Smile*

*Smile* _(Inspired by a delightful poem by Spike Milligan)_ Laughter spreads like ripples in a pond that’s freshly stirred. A grin exchanged by chance today can echo without a word. I smiled at some strangers as I wandered down the lane. They caught the spark, their face lit up, and passed it on again. It struck me then, how far it goes— this simple, fleeting spark. A tiny act of joy can bloom and brighten up the dark. So when you feel a smile arise, don’t let it slip away. Share it wide, let it ignite a brighter, kinder day. Rajiv 17th December 2024
