Smiles! 

Yesterday while sitting with my best girlfriend in our usual restaurant, an elderly couple came in. I could not take my eyes off their faces. Their smile wrinkles made both of them positively shine!  

Smile Your Face Depends on it!

The Deceitfulness of Lies – a warning

 ~ Gracie Rockland  

How frailly veiled the soul that lies.
No image, no glitter, no gold - that hides -
Can change swallow judgment to wise.

Think you are safe? Don’t you know the fear?
Lies themselves have their works, they sear,
They deceive, and vision with dimness smear.

So what is judgment? And what is sight?
When self-appointed judges vie for the right
To lay blame on each other, voices boom with might,

Thinking loudness convincing, oh well, I guess
They’ve convinced themselves, for its lost on the rest,
Who stumble on searching for sense in the mess.

Do you think you see? For whatever ill-won pride,
The man most pitiful believes his own lie.
When the veil is removed, even he is surprised.

Show me a person who lives without guile.
When I pull back his curtain, I smile.
He’s genuine; he’s solid, as deep as a mile.
