DFG# 707-370

I smile when I don't understand the words what people say to me. It is like a baby's innocent face. I smile when people yell at me. I don't understand why they do it to me. My smile is like a baby's cry. I smile when I serve people. My smile is the only way for me to communicate with others. I give warmth to people and I hope they will return it. I smile when people help me. I slowly understand how important it is to take my first step and then walk independently.
Smile #2, 1995

I smile when I am tired. I see what I have earned from the hard work that I have done all the time. I smile when I finally can listen and speak. The more I smile the more people treat me like a real person in this society. I smile no matter how hard a life I have. I smile to the past, smile to the present, smile to the future, and I smile to all.
