Smile

Smile when you don't know what else to do

Smile

She smiles because she has to

She smiles to hide the pain

She smiles to pretend

She smiles to make others feel better

She smiles to agree

She smiles because she doesn’t know what else to do

Frown

She frowns because she has to

She frowns to hide the joy

She frowns to fit in

She frowns to make others feel better

She frowns to agree

She frowns because she doesn’t know what else to do.

Smile……… Frown………… Smile

She has a beautiful smile

She feels worthy when she smiles

She feels typical when she smiles

She feels elated when she smiles

She feels magnetic when she smiles

She feels! She feels when she smiles

She feels………….

You can hear a heartbeat if you know how to listen... and remembering how and when to breathe is its own artform.

Mornings can be pensive - if ever we allow ourselves the time. But who has time to allow - even for ourselves.

A smile can show and hide many things...sometimes bravery, sometimes joy...but always shows feeling, lovely!
