Sunny Smile

Where has the sun gone?
From a frosty fellow greeting
To a commuter's cold bleating
The day's forecast was a chilly one.

Where did the sunshine disappear?
From the homeless man's freezing face
To the pedestrian's frigid pace
The weather was not in a temperate temper.

Homeward bound the last snow-covered mile
Trying to bring a warm hue to the day's events
Moving aside for a mother and her two infants
The sunshine dazzled in the little child's smile.

Yes. A smile is indeed a sunshine.

Your response has brought sunshine into the room as well as made the poet smile. Thanks

Always appreciate your insightful remarks. The smaller of the two children had the dazzling smile and I have known children who were big for their ages, hence the qualification "little child". Thanks for your input.
