Polish the Beacon

Polish the beacon of your face
and give the weary world a smile;
despairing people need some grace.
Polish the beacon of your face;
make optimism commonplace
and luminous joy your lifestyle.
Polish the beacon of your face
and give the weary world a smile.

A great uplifting triolet. It takes more muscles to frown than to smile. Cheers - Gary

I love this triolet, Faye! The world is weary and even if we are likewise we must lift up our countenance! God bless!
