The Talisman

Sometimes it's the little things that hold us together in life.

One Smile can warm a broken soul,

can enlighten the confused fool.

Smile to the sky and find your reason there;

a sky with rain and shine, but always a beauty fair.

Find that one ray of sunshine in your heart

and find some way to make it your art.

Overcome the flaws that aren't permanent

bringing to light your purest element.

A true honor for the greatest of all,

always there when you do your best and still fall,

only to gather yourself and dive right back in.

For a true, meaningful Smile is never a sin.

Small, yet powerful in its own unique way;

always helping to erase the memories of pain.

It brightens a room of tension

bringing in a new tide of relaxation.

Chase away the darkness with its radiance.

Something so small can always be see from a distance;

a smile is the strongest of any source

a form of happiness that overflows from every pore.

A medal of honor.

A talisman for the brave.

Keep smiling, and it will all be okay.

I originally intended for this to be a song of some sort, but I am not musically talented by any stretch of the imagination, so I stuck with just the words instead. Let me know what you think! Any feedback is good feedback.
