Smiling 21 Poem by Nafisa SB

Smiling 21

Smile with your eyes
When saying ‘hi's' and ‘bye's'
Smile with a grin
On your dimpled chin

Smile away those tears
Banishing those fears
Drive in full gears
Sit and smile with peers

Smile in a crowd
Smile when alone
Do not be proud
Do smile on the phone

Smile with your feet
Lead life a merry dance
If given this option
Don't let go of the chance

Smile - and make a friend
Smile - and set a trend
For the power of your smile
Can stretch for endless miles

But give a joyful smile
Don't smirk or be smug
Let it feel all rosy/cosy
And cover you up, like a rug

Smile with a pout
Or a cheeky grin
Keep smiling when you can
And many a heart you'll win

A smile can be shy
It can also be bold
It can enchant the viewer
And embrace him, in it's fold

The sweetest smile we see
Is of the young and old
For there is only innocence
And love shining like gold

So smile away your sorrows
Take heart, and be brave
The sun will keep shining
So stop being grim and grave

Just smile and live your life
Stop the endless strife
Let's fight to overcome our sorrow
And smilingly wait for the morrow
