Smile

A true smile 
Born within the heart
A beautiful place 
For a smile to start
As it reaches your eyes
This gorgeous surprise
Twinkles and sparkles
Your eyes come alive
And when your lips begin to part
Your precious smile 
Straight from your heart
Can make their day
A kinder place
And put a smile 
Upon their face
And so before their day does end
A million smiles 
Your smile did send
