~PLACED FIRST~

“No costume can make one more beautiful than a sweet smile. So, smile as much as you can. It will loosen your muscles and lighten others’ hearts.” ~ By Poet Try to spread some cheer with a happy smile, Giving a feeling that life is worthwhile. Smile lightens the tedium of the mile, Warming many hearts without any guile. By creating in others a sweet smile, We're scripting for us a better profile. A sweet smile can make everything look bright, Igniting the dark world with dazzling light. It can lift everyone from sorrows blight, Making the murky lives filled with delight. A smile can brighten even the dark night, Removing from all, sorrow’s harsh onslaught. A smile can calm even a troubled sea, Bringing such benign peace to you and me.

Nice poem. I wrote a poem 'smile for me' tenty years ago. It has very similar context in free verse. Smile is heavenly way to communicate and sooth pain.

Nice poem to start the day, remembering that a smile can make all the difference. So many are suffering from depression. Whatever we can do to help, even just a little
