Your Mama's Smile :)

So, if I ask you to smile :) right now, can you do it? Please? What if I beg you? No? You can't? What if I tell you that I can see you now sitting behind that screen of yours, will that make you smile? Still? No? Not even half a smile? Even if I call out in the loudest voice ever: "Ottet elmeatateeeeeeen kollohom"? Lessa? Khales? Wala smailaya (1 smile)? Yalla, only one :) for satta :)

Isn't your mama's smile warmer than the warmest sunshine ever? Tastier than the yummiest mango? Cozier than the softest sofa? Cuter than the freshest daisy? Isn't it just as tranquil as the site of your one & only Ka'ba? As holy as fulfilling your God-given obligations? What would you do to keep that smile shining? How much would you give? How much can you take? For how long?

How hard is it to keep your loved ones happy? How hard is it to keep yourself happy? Do you have to be happy to smile? How hard is it for you to smile? How many smiling people are out there right now? And how many frowning ones? Can i, small li'l me, cause a genuine smile to come to life? Can you? You know how to? You don't? Come on, maaaaaaaan? You gotta know.. It's easy, look deep within yourself & you'll know how to.. You gotta want it.. Really truly want it.. Do you know what you want? What you deeply badly want? Will it lead to a smile along the way? Or doesn't it matter for you anyway? (I found this video, where egyptian children were asked to say that which made them happy/sad in year 2006 & what they really wish for to happen.. It's in arabic; so sorry to those who wouldn't understand! It begins after a minute & 50 seconds of the start of the video.. Here)

Ain't it cute what li'l miss 7aki wished for here? Isn't this what most of us girls wish for? Ha.. Not all that we wish for comes true.. But, but, but, wait a minute.. There's always a reason behind things happening.. WAllahi there is! And anyways, isn't it one of the best things ever happening seeing your mama's smile?
