Smile

Smile embraced the life of a little boy who was given a warm cloth in biting cold

The little boy shivered in biting cold
Still he was serving food for young and old
The boy rushed from table to table
His speed matched only with fable

Suddenly a plate fell on the ground
All became alert by the breaking sound
The hotelier rushed to the boy and slapped on the face
He became furious and lost all grace

The guests of the hotel were busy with eating
They looked listless about his beating
A girl stood and asked the owner to  stop
He spared him and returned to his place of the shop

The poor boy started his work again in fear
The savior girl watched  him from near
The boy looked at her with grateful eyes
She saw that he wore a thin cloth to her surprise

She left the hotel and went to her class
Then she went to the market with her purse
She bought a sweater and returned soon
She beckoned the boy and offered the boon

The face of the boy became bright with smile
He bounced like a bird for a while
The girl felt very happy at the divine sight
She thought at least once she honored human right

I have been digging around tonight. Here, I came upon this. The title of course caught my attention.

I always enjoy your stories (even within poem such as this). You have a delightful way of telling them. Be they stories of hardship, life, whimsy or triumph.
This perfectly illustrates that it just takes one person to stop and care to make a difference in someone's life. No, he will not wear the sweater or the smile forever.. But that does not matter. For a time his heart was lighter.

Thank you for sharing this. :)

Rogue,you have magic and honey in your lovely words :)
You have been blessed with a great heart that can glorify everyone on your path.
I feel honored and blessed simultaneously by your precious and thoughtful review.

Now, I don't know about all that.. Rogue (just slipped right into that third person speak) can be an ornery cuss sometimes.
-grin-
But, you are most welcome and the pleasure was all mine. :)

My lovely friend knows well how to sing.

So many just stand by and watch others criticize, harm, or hurt and then turn away. It is wonderful when one has the courage and the heart to do something about the injustice as this girl did!!
Your write reminds us to help others - not harm them by being indifferent to their suffering!!

[zainul]

Thank you Sheila for your wonderful suggestion about having the courage and the heart to do something about the injustice.
Your comment is a world to me.
I am also very inspired by your strong support and generous review.

[Marie]

Lovely. We should try to do something about wrong, rather than merely deploring it.

[zainul]
