To be brave is to live

In the hustle and bustle of everyday strife,
There are moments that bring a touch of life,
Small but beautiful, they sparkle and gleam,
Making our existence a wondrous dream.
A gentle breeze on a warm summer's day,
Caressing our skin as we laugh and play,
The sound of raindrops tapping on the roof,
A lullaby that whispers with a soothing truth.
A smile from a stranger passing us by,
A simple gesture that makes our spirits fly,
A heartfelt conversation, shared with a friend,
Words that uplift and help us mend.
In these small moments, life finds its grace,
A reminder that joy can be found in any place.

To Be Brave Is To Live

Hello, Anna,
It's always wonderful to read your poetry. This is full of acts of bravery, but "...a smile from a stranger passing us by" really resonates with me. Thank you for this one.
