Smile
by Barbara Hauck
She smiled at a sorrowful stranger,
The smile seemed to make him feel better.
He remembered past kindness of a friend
And wrote him a thankyou letter.
The friend was so pleased with the thankyou
That he left a large tip after lunch.
The waitress,surprised by the size of the tip,
Bet the whole thing on a hunch.
The next day she picked up her winnings,
And gave part to a man on the street.
The man on the street was grateful;
For two days he'd nothing to eat.
After he finished his dinner,
He left for his small dingy room.
(He didn't know at that moment
That he might be facing his doom.)
On the way he picked up a shivering puppy
And took him home to get warm.
The puppy was very grateful
To be in out of the storm.
That night the house caught on fire.
The puppy barked the alarm.
He barked till he woke the whole household
And saved everybody from harm.
One of the boys that he rescued
Grew up to be President.
All this because of a simple smile
That hadn't cost a cent.
The Smile
Saint Exupery
I was sure that I was to be killed.I became terribly nervous.I fumbled in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes,which had escaped their search..I found one and because of my shaking hands,I could barely get it to my lips.But I had no matches.They had taken those.I looked through the bars at my jailer.He did not make eye contact with me.I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me,shrugged and came over to light my cigarette.As he came close and lit the match,his eyes inadvertently locked with mine.At that moment,I smiled.I don’t know why I did that.Perhaps it was nervousness,perhaps it was because,when you get very close,one to another,it is very hard not to smile.In any case,I smiled.In that instant,it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts,our two human souls.I know he didn’t want to,but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips,too.He lit my cigarette but stayed near,looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.,
I kept smiling at him,now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer.And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too.“Do you have kids?” he asked.“Yes,here,here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family.He,too,took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them.My eyes filled with tears.I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again,never have the chance to see them grow up .Tears came to his eyes,too.Suddenly,without another word,he unlocked my cell and silently led me out.Out of the jail,quietly and by back routes,out of the town.There,at the edge of town,he released me.And without another word,he turned back toward the town.
“My life was saved by a smile.” Yes,the smile---the unaffected,unplanned,natural connection between people.I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other,we wouldn’t be enemies.We couldn’t have hate or envy or fear.
