Smile

Worried
Hurried
Buried
Have you smiled, a while
Forget the cares
Remove yourself
Change the your phase
Let not the power heat up 
Or else blow off
Stretch your face
Open the eyes wide
And just smile
Forget the worry for a while
Notice it run a mile
Learn the technique
Will do well for mind and physique
Smile at a stranger s stretch
Nothing will be in danger
Let the tiny muscle s stretch
A smile in exchange you’ll fetch
A painter may use you for a sketch
Try worry will be in danger
If in anger take a deep breath
Reveal your teeth your anger will be on a hanger
Jealous
Remove yourself and smile
Best weapon against wrath
Will leave you unscathed
Opponent will reconsider the path
Realize your romance
Will enhance


If you care for yourself
Remember to smile
