The smile of an infant
Shows familiarity and trust
While the smile of a toddler
Shows innocence at its best
The smile of adolescence
Shows mischief and glee
While the smile of a teenager
Shows “I know it all and I believe”
Shyness and love is shown
In the smile of a young bride
While the smile of her mother
Shows sadness yet, pride
The smile of a new father
Protects his new born
While the smile of an old soul
Shows the full life waiting to be gone
A smile may mean a fresh new life,
Love, happiness or even peace
Acceptance or trust or feeling of belonging
Or at the least the last hope as one leaves
