"Friendly waves cost
you nothing,"
That's one of my personal quotes I use plenty.. smiles are free.. know thy neighbor... Assist when needed and always do the right thing...

The fun part is to really make ?em wonder what you?re up to with so much cheerfulness ? they can?t help but smile back!! I?m pretty sure a number of folks at the Wal-Mart yesterday morning thought I was a bit ?touched? but so many of them ended up smiling from across the produce department, or down the cereal aisle or? oh, yeah, you should have seen the lady?s reaction when I waved and said a cheerful ?Good morning!? a few ?displays? over in the bakery/deli area...lol! But she walked away with a smile under that mask, it was obvious! Keep smiling and believing ? we?ll get through this!! ;-)
Thank you for your wonderful review, Jen!!

This flawless Etheree has a beautiful message which is especially important in these difficult times of forced isolation for so many.
Superb, and aptly illustrated with a shaft of light into darkness.

You are most welcome. Yes, keeping people smiling despite the situation is commendable, as depression (especially in isolation) also costs lives. Your post is a bright spot in dim times. -- Mike

A fabulous Etheree with a great message of kindness in this time of trouble and probably loneliness for many. Best of luck in the contest with this positive piece. Marilyn

Your etheree is creatively composed, timely, and inspirational. Yes, we are required by circumstances to be inventive. Your examples remind us that where there's a will, there's a way.

Comment from royowen
God does not literally us (although He can physically) but He works from the inside, it generally feels like He's surrounding us. This is a beautifully crafted etheree poem, and the symmetry of the work deserves a mention, because it takes skill to do it, well done, good luck, blessings, Roy

Comment from DeboraDyess
What an incredible tiruth in a time like this! I'm in a small town, so we ALWAYS smiie and wave, but my niece says civility is slowly deteriorating in the city. I love this poem so very much. I hope you have intentions of publishing it.
Friendly waves cost you nothing,>> wonderful line, beautiful sentiment!
And that note on a neighbor's door?
It could be the sunshine they're missing...>>Got a letter from a friend from almost 30 years ago. She said something about a note I'd left on her door. I don't remember writing it. but thank you for putting that in here. It can be life changing. You never know.
And the emotional touch is what we need and are missing most of all.
Excellent job on the poem. Thank you for writing!
With a smile
Or gift of mirth -
True 'touch' is so much more than physical

Hello my friend
In California, our governor encourages a good neighbor program where people check on their neighbors. Some people are alone and they are scare, just a friendly hello makes a big difference.
Good job with the poem my friend.
