What Can I Give?


A smile when nobody else is smiling
A smile from behind a mask
(the eyes don’t lie, they are filled with love)
  
A smile, even when –
  
Even when I am afraid,
even when I am in pain,
even when I am angry with the world –
  
that is where humanity shines most brightly,
when, in our fear, in our pain, in our anger,
we defy it all with a human connection anyway.

Even if I cannot touch people with my hands,
I can still reach out with my heart,
with a smile that speaks for itself:
I see you. I am you.
