What a difference!

one idea... 2 poems.. dealing with the same idea... the fact that a smile and a nice word from a stranger can make such a difference... and I also thought... if a strangers smile does that... how much more would smile from a loved person do? I didnt quite manage to bring that into any of the poems... but think about it, who makes the difference for you today?

What a difference 1

What a difference it makes
To get a smile from
Someone
Just anyone

What a difference it makes
To enjoy the
Day
Just any day

What a difference it makes
To feel the warmth of
The Sun
anytime

What a difference it makes
To like the person in the
mirror
Any mirror

What a huge difference it makes
To receive a smile from
YOU, not
just anyone


What a difference 2

Today someone flirted with me
When I was out doing sports
A smile and a friendly comment
What a difference

Out of the blue
I was all sweaty and red in the face
I didnt even feel in the mood for a flirt
And then…

On my way home I realised
How happy i felt all out of a sudden
How sweet the day suddenly felt
What a difference

Within a few seconds that one smile
Turned the day, reminded me to live
Live the moment, try to be as happy
As one can be

I am so grateful to that stranger
For the mood I am now in
For what realised again
What a difference

So I sit here the pen in my hand
Bewildered and mesmerised by
All the good feelings flooding
My usually worry filled mind

And then I think of you
Wondering who is gonna
Smile for you and make you say
What a difference
