A Smile Has the Power To

If your smile is not a smirk,
It is something you can put to work,
Even on those who shirk.

If your smile is genuine,
In no way canine,
The result will be fine.

If your smile is not crooked,
Others will become hooked,
And a positive outcome booked.

If your smile comes from peace of mind,
It will be taken as kind,
And you won't be fined.

If your smile is given freely,
It will not seem silly,
Even to the tipsy.

If your smile is given as a gift,
It is sure to give others a lift,
Though their mind may be adrift.
