Big Handful of Daisies

my father was born in latvia in 2014 our family visited there and where he lived we were waiting to catch a bus and i noticed a flower shop i bought a big handful of small daisies there were many people sitting on benches and i began handing them to what seemed like older women there was this empty broken look in each of their eyes i smiled as i handed them out many were afraid to take them like they were being watched others there was like a dimmer switch lit up their eyes I'll never forget the people that smiled
