112. Why I Smile At You

Sometimes I feel so lost,
     wand’ring through crowds,
          gazing into faces I cannot speak to.
I seem to roam aimlessly.
     feeling roses in my hand,
          yet, I cannot breathe their scent.
Uncertain stares are cast my way
     and I wonder if I will sail
          in harmony or in storm;
So though you may wonder
     why I stop to say hi,
          or why I always smile.
I do so because I see warmth
     in your eyes and your smile,
          and friendship in your heart.
