To the Girl on the Street Who Smiled at Me

I love you

You made my day today
I was driving home after a long and exhausting day
When
I saw you walking on the street
How old are you? 13?
You looked young
You glanced up as I was driving by, made eye contact and smiled straight at me
At first I was surprised
Are you smiling at me?
Weird 

But then it hit me
... and I thought
You are smiling at me...
... and my heart began to glow and a smile broke across my face
You weren't afraid to give a piece of yourself to me...
...a random stranger.
Bless you
You are beautiful and special
Never allow your courage to dampen
Keep smiling
Shine them big
I prayed that you will remember this moment after we return to God
So you will know, and see, that your simple smile brought exquisite joy to my dark day
