Only a Smile

Sometimes home makes you sick
You feel miserable, and depressed
You seem living on a different planet
Don’t know what to do who to call
Where to go and how to get there
When to leave, and who will lead you
You are off completely
Only a smile can save your life
You might have money, and power
Might be famous, and unbeatable
Might feel yourself like a god
But without a joke to make you smile
You are in trouble
A smile is all you need to start the day
It is just like my grandma daily cup of coffee
It is a key to open your obscure heart
To make you forget your home sickness
Your strange dreams at night
Your nighttime disrespectful on bed
Your kids’ wrongdoing at home
Good jokes that bring smile
Make the day pass quickly
And create a friendly environment
Only a smile in the morning can do all.
