C. A. Burkett Poet Rhyme

Are You Smiling Under That Mask

Are you smiling under that mask
What’s the alternative, yes I did ask

Would you rather be grumpy and frown, oh come on 
That’s not much fun if you’ve tried it very long

I’m going to smile despite this face mask
And why is that now I know you should ask

Because smiling feels good even if you can’t see
And a smile spreads happiness, consider that please

So when you look above my mask, up towards the sky
You’ll know that I’m smiling, you can see it in my eyes
