Because you would smile,
The high sky dispatched some clouds
To descend and stay above your head,
So that your smile wouldn't soon be dead.
Because you would laugh,
The crying baby took a break,
So that her cries wouldn't muffle your laughter,
The acoustic of which is so much sought after.
Because you would smile,
The thunders and lightnings paused for a while,
So that the woods and the oceans would gleam
With the soft rays that your smile would beam.
Because you would smile,
The full moon quietly hid under the cloud,
So that the glow of your lustrous smile
Wouldn't be hidden under the lunar shroud.
But alas! Despite all these, you didn't smile.
So the clouds precipitated, the baby resumed
Its fits of cries, the thunders roared and the
Lightnings flashed, and the moon ball eclipsed.
As soon as you would again smile,
All these flurries would rest for a while.
Your smile has got a very unique style,
To humans and nature it is equally versatile.
