One Bit at a Time
Location
She smiled at me
And that was all it took
Suddenly,
My head got just a little bit clearer
My heart got just a little less bitter
My day got just a little bit better
And I looked up at the sky
Realizing just how beautiful life is
I couldn't help myself
And I did the unthinkable
I smiled back
Then
I smiled at the next person I saw
I watched as his somber face split into a perfect cocktail
Of
One part Confused
Three parts Happy
And two parts Realization
I watched him look into the sky
As his own smile stretched slowly into place
I watched his day get just a little bit brighter
His head raise just a little bit higher
His smile get just a little bit wider
And
I realized that I just changed the world
Just a little bit
But maybe that little bit
Is just what the world needs
