Too many people are feeling lost and disillusioned. Cindy believes that, despite the hate and cruelty that surrounds her, beauty can be found if we look for it. In this collection of poems, she shares her belief that a smile or a bit of understanding can change the world. One act of kindness, one smile, brightens everything it touches.

As far back as she can remember, Cindy J. Smith has written poetry wherever life experience provided inspiration. Wife, mother and grandmother, she has a myriad of beautiful memories to draw from. Never having been good at playing the part of "starving artist", she has had many careers. Recently she retired from being an over-the-road truck driver with her husband, Dave, which provided different perspectives of the world in which we live. Cindy has published seven poetry books and a children's book. More of her poems appear in various anthologies as well as several books by fellow authors.
