Spread Your Smile a Mile

You may laugh all aloud, smile a smile, Happiness it is your very own, If you make an unknown sad face smile, Joy and bliss of yours greater has grown. Fine, you bring back lost smile on the face Of a long suffering distressed soul, But if you add here your kindly grace, True joy shall blossom from you as whole. Try meet someone with a smiling face. You may win him, let's say, by one half, But if he joins, and smile turns to laugh, It's as if you've served a winning ace. Let your entire anatomy smile, Let body’s each cell break into dance, Let the whole contagion spread a mile, Not a doubt, failure has not a chance. If green goes grey from this earthen ground, An eclipse as if has shadowed life, Sepulchral eerie hush all around, Friends as if desert you in grave strife, Me alone if dwells in a lone bed, Everything if looks sad and sedate, Let my smile brighten up, show its red, See that no smile stays locked in closed gate. ________________________________________ Musings | 01.02.15 | Port's note: In three-foot anapaest meter
