my new years goal
is to always smile at children
i see on the street
the bus
the corner cafe
no matter their disposition
whether jolly or grumpy
or downright mad
and especially the ones
who peer out at me
with scorn
distrust
and especially
especially
those next to a big person
who's countenance
reflects the same
and maybe just maybe
the child will
remember
a smiling face.
