The greatest win

With a little joy I can be happy,
without having to smile to be content.
Gladly enough my eyes you can fix,
to see in them all my contentment.

With a little joy I can express
all the happiness of a little  moment,
that my smiling lips know how to dress,
with the subtlety of a movement.

I do not need fortunes to smile,
nor to be superior to others with disdain,
I do not need own the world to survive.

But I need to know that  there is someone,
who first of all knows how to keep and sustain,
the peace in the world as the greatest win.
