Something to Learn

We have something to learn from

(the toddler who smiled

while he peeled his banana

and ate it in five bites

and gave us all high fives)

(the lady with orange glasses gray hair 

kind smile said she liked me that smile

said it all)

(the girl on facetime can hardly hear what I said

but she's smiling anyway)

(the kid who smiles with his eyes

crinkled even if it's not that funny

he tries to find joy

he helps us find joy)

those of us who smile

(when we don't want to

to)
