The Smile Thief

“Here is a small fact: You are going to die.”  –Markus Zusak, the book thief

“And not only will you die, before death comes, there are many who will come into your life and hurt you. Allow yourself to absorb the hurt and move on.” –Rosalind Guy

Always keep a spare smile ready.

There are those who will steal

your smile away & use it to add

to their own smile. At that point

the smile becomes a mocking reminder

of a happiness that was lifted away

from you as easily as the soul

is lifted away from the body when

Death comes to claim it.

Peace & Love,

Rosalind
