Smile

Whistled this to myself

Smile

The sun brings us the morning
And the moon brings us the night
In between these miracles is that wonderful thing we call life
We've got to ears to hear the music
And eyes to see the light
Smile everyday
Because its a wonderful life

I've got a spring in my step
Laughter on my mind
Can't wait for the day to start
New day begins and yesterdays problems are left behind
I've got a tune in my heart
Smile everyday
Because its a wonderful life

I smell the flowers
They smell beautiful
Step outside
And my dogs are outside ready to play
And as I tuck myself in bed tonight
This is what I'll say
Smile
Its been a wonderful day.

Brilliant work mate, the kind of thing you need to see when you wake up, gets that positive vibe going. Also really like the consistency in the shape of the Stanzas.

thanks man.

Awe what a sweet and positive poem :) Thank you for sharing it, eloquently written and makes me feel very happy - only one thing to point out - In the fourth line, not sure if you meant "two' instead of "to" or if there is just an extra "to' in there - other than a wonderful poem that I will favorite!

Thank you so much, really really glad that you like it. And thank you for pointing out that little slip, definitely meant to be two,

You are such a talented writer.

I've looked at about half of your pieces on the site, and each one has been so profoundly beautiful or heart-wrenching. I thank you for sharing these works of art with so many other people; you are inspiring!

I hope that one day I will be able to make people feel the kind of emotions that I feel when I read your work. :)

~Sincerely, Miguel

Miguel thank you, I really dont know what else to say other than thank you. It's really great to know that my work brings happiness to those who read it.

I fully believe that people feel the emotions that you put into your art, as long as you aware of how something makes you feel you will be able to project your feelings to your readers.
