Spread Your Smile A Mile Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Suppose you laugh aloud or just smile
Happiness it is your very own,
If you make an unknown sad face smile
Joy and bliss of yours has greater grown.

If you bring back lost smile on the face
Of a long suffering distressed soul,
Show to him your inmost kindly grace,
True joy shall blossom from you as whole.

Try meeting someone with smiling face.
You may win him at most by one half,
But if he joins you with his own laugh
You may win say with a service ace.

Let your entire anatomy smile,
Let body's each cell break into dance,
Let the whole contagion spread a mile,
He that talks to would have no chance.

If every green shade goes off from ground,
An eclipse as if has shadowed life,
Birds' eerie silence sepulchral found,
Friends as if desert you in grave strife,

Me alone if dwells in thorny bed,
Everything if looks sad and sedate,
Let my smile brighten up to be red,
See, no smile remains locked in closed gate.
