Put on a Smile

“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.
