Question: A prose writer tries poetry again!. The Smile!.!?
The Smile

By Warren E!. Domke

It was just a momentary thing!.
Someone I cared about smiled at me!.
She needed a smile and I gave her one of mine!.

All we can ever be to each other
We are now!.
We can never be more!.

But we can go on caring and smiling!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You wrote a universal poem -- one that is a moment we all know, but you caught it in your words to linger in our minds!.

I'm proud to know you!.

That's lovely!. I wrote an essay once about how mysterious a smile is!. How it can be sad or happy, faked or not!. How much more it is than the simple up-turning of the lips!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Like two strangers in a hallway in a hospital!. Smiles are exchanged!. Understanding and sympathy given in an instant!. Then they part - to each their separate tribulations!. ?Www@QuestionHome@Com
