And I Say Smile Poem by Deanza L. WalwynBowrin

A rose with such beauty as yourself, has no reason to hide
No reason to shelter, no reason to frown;
Then why are you always feeling sad and down?
And I say SMILE…

Hey, you over there, what’s up with the tears?
You should be smiling; you’ve made it a long way
Let me heal your pain; let me take it all away.
And I say SMILE…

You have lost some, but you have not lost all;
Look at all the time you have left
Hold your head high and lift your chest.
And I say SMILE…

Now look at me, and what do you see?
For sure, I’m happy and as free as can be.
But I Love myself and have self-dignity
And I SMILE…

And I say smile for things that make you happy,
And still for those that make you sad
It’s all about reminiscing on the moment and
Enjoying every bit of calmness that there may be.

Just smile to the passing stranger
Smile to a life long friend,
Smile to new beginnings
Smile because it’s the end.

And I say SMILE…
