The Missing Smile

There Once was a smile on my face but it has been erased.
Why? you may ask.
Why? I do not quite know, someone broke my heart I was told.
But I really don't know why my smile has went away.
I miss it very much...I wish it had stayed.
For days it has been missing.
I've searched but can not find.
I even put a picture of it online and a reward if anyone should find.
But it's been so long since I've seen it I fear it must have died.
But I must try and find it before I go back to school, for what will the kids say if I come back with such a gloom.
But now the day's almost over and I slowly look up to see my missing smile smiling back at me.  :)

This poem beautifully captures the essence of inherent nature with simplicity and elegance. The imagery of the animals’ tails reflects the unchangeable traits that define their existence, serving as a quiet yet powerful reminder to embrace and honor what is innate in all of us. Short, sweet, and wonderfully profound. ???
