Smile Again

Smile again,
Smile again my dear;
you look beautiful when you smile.

Sadness fears smiles; any kind of smiles.
It takes to its heels if it predicts that you are
about to smile, or you are smiling.

I know it sounds a little bit hard to smile now,
but I believe you can do it.

Oh, Linda; you are like a fairy;
if you let yourself glow once again,
you will infect all of us once more
with your magical bliss.

You are magic itself!
You are magic whose spell is hiding
somewhere in your heart - a smile will light,
and find the spell.

Sadness will then be no more!

Teddy, Congratulations on your win. I'm finally making time to read every entry, intended for me in Shadow's Hamilton depression contest. It was a tough fight, however at the end I prayed, and asked to take over and he did. WOW, it was what I call a miracle. Thanks for lifting my day with this poem... Love LINDA
