Smile At Life

"We all have suffered a loss,
As in a game with an errant toss

How many times have you misplaced your keys, 
Or the family jewels hidden from thieves

The loss of a loved one hurts the most,
As does the loss of fairness between our coasts

The loss of hearing is certainly bad,
But the loss of sight is even more sad

For to have never seen beauty,
Can you imagine it really?

Can you imagine losing your smile,
Inconceivable even for a while 

For your smile is the key to your heart, 
As it signals happiness will start

Laughter will soon follow,
And fill what has been hallow

And missing inside,
So love can reside 

Your spirits can be down,
But please don’t frown

Find a mirror and put on your smile,
It’s a complement to any style 

Then show it off to the world out there, 
And pass it on to someone else to wear"
