Flower

Was out on my morning ritual ; a stroll and a cup of tea from the shop across.Found this small yellow flower,the sunflower kind,smaller version lying on the road.Some child must have plucked it and made reluctantly to let go by the speeding auto or a hurrying mum.There it was lying alone abandoned,but it showed no sign of those feelings.It faced me smiling,couldn't guess whether it knew of its uncertain life.Any time a speeding bike or a rushing stranger can tear it into pieces.Whether it knew that or not,but it chose to smile as if greeting me with a warm hello.Stuck by its beauty,but a little preoccupied,I walked further,but was unable to forget that smile.I turned back and looked at it,it was still there smiling at everyone passing by.Went back picked it up,and kept it on the near by wall.I was asking myself why am I doing this? The flower was still smiling ,as if to say,thanks ! You helped me to smile a little longer from a place where I can see a little farther.
