Smiles bring warmth to people’s hearts, with the extraordinary effect like a ray of sunshine dripping through the window in the cold winter.

I'm writing a speech about the power of smiles, please help me if you can. Many thanks:)

Answer

I would use "dripping" for water or anything liquid.  I'd use "beaming" for sunshine.  It implies a bright sunny day and the sunshine is lighting up the room.

..."like a ray of sunshine beaming through the window in cold winter."
