Smile

The delightful human spontaneity.

A smile illuminates the face

it is a welcoming gesture;

it transcends age and race

a welcome to green pasture.

 

A smile shows delight

it’s a saluting sight;

be it day or night

it is always just right.

 

A smile is most enlightening

illumination ever so brightening;

shedding reassurance so inviting

making one ever more charming.

 

A smile is a sign of affection

the eyes such a warming reception;

but a smile is never a rejection

still sometimes it’s subtle objection.

 

A smile is so different to a grin

anybody can tell upon that sin;

A smile is so dissimilar to a smirk

anyone can tell when it irks.

 

Your smile says a lot, and why not?

Imagine sunshine cast upon pasture;

it is nourishing and not just hot

your smile is a precious gift of nature.
