Smile

A smile can whisper many things
bygone memories of other springs.
Dreams of yesterday, or long ago
the sight of sun on new fallen snow.

A smile can speak of love to last
or a sweet flirtation in the past,
of a waltz across a ballroom floor,
many memories and many more.

A laugh sometimes follows a smile
and stays around to echo awhile.
A smile at times shows deep grief
or gives a glimpse of inner belief.

A smile can bring beauty to a plain face
and bring a ray of sunlight into a dark place.
So for whatever reason you have found
smile awhile and cheer all those around.
