Bryan Norton Poet Rhyme

Grin

Grin, for the gift of laughter
Grin, for the lift you’re after
Grin, to begin
With no cause
For chagrin

Grin, for the show you steal
Grin, for the glow that's real
Grin, for the spin 
Of the song
You are in

Rush, to the food you’re missing
Gush, in the mood for kissing
Dream, once again 
By the way
That you grin 

Grin, for the joy of living
Grin, like a toy for giving
Grin, with a chin
That is proud
Of your skin

Grin, for the blues you shattered 
Grin, for the news you mattered
Grin, for the win
That you get
From within

Life, is the sun we borrow 
Strife, can be done tomorrow
Hate, is the sin
So please
Just, grin.
