The Emotions We Share

Happiness, oh how we love to share That smile, that laugh, how others fall into our snare The twinkle of the eye and mischievous wink It drags us in, faster than we can blink A hand on the shoulder, a comforting touch Reassurance in a world that doesn't offer much Hate wiped out with a simple hand shake and peaceful gesture Aren't these the values by which we'd all like to measure The emotions we share, without even noticing Whether that be smiling or worse still, crying These are the signs on how others perceive Perception is often cited as our reality, dare you deceive? I set a challenge to all who read Let us not accept our ancestral lead Let's challenge negative with positive And let happiness be all that we give To share a sadness, isn't that a sin?
