A Smile

A SMILE A smile is an expression of happiness, It is literally the opposite of a frown, With one, your lips go up, And the other, your lips drop down. But it is much more than physiology, It displays favourable emotions too, And a smile seems to be contagious, Chances are if I smile, so will you. When you say someone is photogenic, Their face usually has a smile, If you take a picture of someone with a frown, Framing that photo, certainly won’t be worthwhile. When you hear something that is really funny, That smile will transform into a laugh, Now that’s going to be a Kodak Moment, Time to get out the camera, and take a photograph. There are so many things that can make you smile, It could be watching small children play in a park, Or it could be much more of a personal thing, Like 2 lovers, making out in the dark. A smile is a universal language, It is understood by everyone, It’s a silent form of communication, Recognized by every culture under the sun. There are always nations at each other’s throats, The world has been in conflict all the while, Maybe what this planet of ours needs, Is for more of its people to smile.
