Play it on your lips

The above two pics are of me and my daughter as babies. So My pic when I was a baby and my daughter both smiling. And I inserted quotes.

Wear a smile on your face,
Wear a smile all day,
For nothing you wear, looks lovely without it
Smile away the day,
and watch the effect
you pass around
It might just cheer up the not
so gay
and happiness may well
abound.

And don't you look your best
when you do smile
No wonder you're asked to say
'cheese' for a photo
but the trick is to wear it all
the while
'To smile without distinction'
be thy motto.:)

When someone creases their
forehead into a frown
You curve your lips upward
into a smile
Don't let their scowl get you
down
They,d be the one to look the
clown
while you show off your
inspiring style.

If people stare 'n' glare at you
Return their glares and stares
with a grinning smile
Keep smiling whether they boo
or pooh pooh
They might just reset their
mental file.

Thus forever flash your
pearlywhites
They aren't meant merely for
chow and bites.
Flash em' into a smile that
lights
A crescent shaped smiley on
the face
explore your own facial
expression delights.:)

A smile is a sign of happiness right under your nose
Smile warmly like the sunshine, like the crescent moon
Even when the icy cold wind of discourtesy blows

This is nice to see you here dear Kamoonpory. Your smile has motivated many and we feel this on face all day with love and nice attitudes. Flashing a crescent smile motivates many readers. Warm smile is just like sunshine. An interesting poem is beautifully and amazingly penned. ..100

Remember the song from ANNIE?
Hey, hobo man
Hey, Dapper Dan
You've both got your style
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

Your clothes may be Beau Brummelly
They stand out a mile --
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

Who cares what they're wearing
On Main Street,
Or Saville Row,
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe
(That matters)

So, Senator,
So, Janitor,
So long for a while
Remember,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

[Zoya]

This certainly put a smile across my face, so thank you for that! :)
You are so right. A smile is the cheapest yet the richest accessory one can wear. It makes all the difference.
I'm going to try to smile more often now. Thank you for sharing!

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Yes you ought to wear a smile it would suit u dear. Thanks very much for your great n lovely thoughts on this poem.!

[Cherrie]

The eyes may be the window of the soul but our smile is the billboard that bids them to take a second look.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Wow thanks for the great original quote of a comment eh. You really should preserve. This quote in your quotes section, there are sites which preserve quotes, wonder if this one does.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, smiling makes us look much better---no matter what life has thrown at us, humor can get us through...i know this well...it has worked for me...
and life is too short not to smile.

That's so true, smiling is always good. Thanks for your fine thoughts on this poem.

[Sami Khalil]

Smile is contagious indeed. Smiling people put others at ease and comfort. The opposite is true. It is all a sign of something. You can use those pearly whites for smiles or many bites. Good pics of you and your daughter. Good job Zainab. Salam.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

[Sami Khalil]

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

I love your sweet photos and precious poem. What a cutie your daughter is! Lovely verses, imagery, rhythm and rhyme. Makes me smile to read it! Thank you for this upbeat and uplifting poem about smiling and thank you for sharing.:))

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

One is my daughter and one is me when I was a baby. How did u know which one is my daughter? Warm thanks for your very nice comment, for finding this uplifting, glad to pass on the smile. Hey and your doggy is such a cutieeee. I feel like just saying hello to it as if it can hear me.

[Lydia Shutter]

At my first job, there was a sign above my desk that said, "if you see someone without a smile, give him yours." I always thought that was a wise way to live. Your poem validates my thoughts! Very nice. Lydi**

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Yes that is a good compassionate way, warm thanks for finding my poem encouraging more smiles. Keep smiling yourself too.

[Verse]

Well, this has got me smiling right now! :):). Couldn’t agree more, Zaynab. Happiness is contagious... one lad I work with told me that smiling is my thing, I smile almost all the time. I hadn’t noticed, but was very happy to hear that.

Have a wonderful day, and let me know when your next piece hits the newsstands. :)
