Smile! Poem by Bethany Maxwell

Smile,
Look at the sky,
Forget about everything and just,
Smile!

Laugh,
Open your mouth,
And throw back your head and just,
Laugh!

Dance,
Move your body to the music,
Or move to the rhythm of silence and just,
Dance!

Sing,
Open your heart,
Let out all your thoughts and just,
Sing!

Speak,
Say hi to people you know,
Open a conversation with people you don't and just,
Speak!

Run,
No one can fence you in,
Move your feet one in front of the other and just,
Run!

Love,
Like you have nothing to be ashamed of,
Take someone in your arms and just,
Love!

Dream,
You can do anything you want to,
Keep hope, reason, and will, and just,
Dream!

Live,
Today and tomorrow and the next day,
No matter when it ends make it worth it, and just,
Live!

Believe,
Know what you know and share what you think,
No one can bring you down if you just,
Believe!

Celebrate,
Everything and anything,
It's all in your life and that's a reason to just,
Celebrate!

Fly,
Lift your arms with joy and hope,
Spread the wings of your heart and just,
Fly!

Listen,
If your interested or not,
These are the voices of others like you just,
Listen!

Trust,
That no one and everyone should have that chance,
Give everyone it to everyone and just,
Trust!

See,
Not only with your eyes but your mind,
With your body, spirit, and soul, just,
See!

It's not hard to be happy.
One simple choice.
One god given right of 'pursuit of happiness'.
One choice to look at things and just,
SMILE! : D
