What is it we love about a baby’s smile?  

What’s the magic in their smile we all see?

Is it purity, innocence, acceptance, happiness

beatitude…peace and harmony.

Or…when we see a baby smile…is it more than, at first, it seems?

Perhaps we see a shadow of our hopes…a reflection of our dreams.

A baby’s smile gives us a chance to think about our journey…

where we’ve gone in life…how far.

a reminder of who we once were…

and in this moment…who we are.

It’s possible…behind each baby’s smile we also see

a reminder of the person…we were meant to be. 

If a baby’s smile has the ability 

to give our heart and spirits a lift…

then every time a baby smiles at us

we should think of it as a gift.

And if an innocent baby can give a gift 

to someone he or she doesn’t even know..

perhaps that is the reason

we tend to love their smile so.
