The dandelion has my smile

 "A friend of mine wrote this poem: I have lost my smile, but don't worry.  The dandelion has it.  If you have lost your smile and yet are capable of seeing that a dandelion is keeping it for you, the situation is not too bad.  You still have enough mindfulness to see that the smile is there.  You only need to breathe consciously one or two times and you will recover your smile.
    In fact, everything around you is keeping your smile for you.  You only have to open yourself to the support that is all around you, and inside you."

~Thich Nhat Hanh, from Peace is Every Step
