Behind Surface Smile Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Behind Surface Smile



More important than a pretty face
is mind behind the surface smile, which shows
comprehensive understanding, knows
heart's different from head, yet still can trace
essential links while treating every case
light-heartedly, rema[r]king patterns' flow,
both those outside and those which, hidden, glow.
Life offers opportunities, true, base,
emphasizing timing, touching base
with principles unshakeable. Who sows
in joy sage seeds will harvest trust. Who blows
loves kisses misses naught, at last finds grace.
An agile mind with humour well combined
must tolerance embrace, contentment find.
