Smile Lines

A conversation with a loved one...

Smile Lines

You told me you were worried about

Your smile lines, and how they would mess up your face…

And I told you,

“Please don’t ever stop smiling", 

And how beautiful and telling they can be.

I mean, what is the point of “not living”

Only to impress those,

Who don’t deserve to be impressed.

How true and how necessary the mirror proves that what you see is nothing but truth, every line a winner! We talk of age, its lines, its absences and occasional slips but.. then, go out into the all around, lean against a tree to stand admiring another's royal bark and voluptuous shape reaching for the sky! So be it. Your words have laid a beautiful trail, thank you!

Laughter lines. The sign of a life well lived and loved.They have a beauty all I of their own. Keep smiling. 😊
