Smile
Smiles are the most important... right?
Smile,
or people will know.
Smile,
or people will see.
Smile,
or they'll start to question,
question how this happened to me.
If I stop smiling, they'll start to chase,
adding another reason why I have to run.
Smile,
so no one will question,
question why I've become a sloth,
not being able to stay awake,
not able to run.
Everything is catching up,
my legs have gone still,
they seem to be stuck.
But hey!
At least I still have my smile.

What if no birth happens?
To remember that our collective human experience is woven into the fabric of a vast and intricate tapestry. Reflecting on the universal phenomenon of birthdays, we find ourselves confronted with the humbling reality of our existence. Despite the individual significance we attach to our special day, the sheer volume of births occurring globally serves as a reminder of our shared humanity. On any given day, hundreds of thousands of babies enter the world, each one adding to the tapestry of human history.
