What Makes Me Smile Smiles I seek from sweet shines of life To abate stress of my daily strife; Sweet shines of smiles brighten my path Melt away harshness of my wrath; Sweet smiles open doors of my heart To the songs of a lovely lark; I need not wander far away To search for sweet smiles of the day, I uncover sweet smiles close by As I stare at the starry sky, From cotton clouds cast as a deer Racing in heavens without fear, From eclipse of the silver moon Outstripped by shining stars so soon, From spring seeds shooting from the ground From graceful breeze blowing around, From flowers striving each other To catch my eyes without bother, From spring amethysts in full bloom Vying with roses in my room, From my cat chasing a grey rat, My dog wearing a lovely hat, From cherry blooms kissing my desk To wake me up from my short rest, From light rains splashing on my roof From my stroll holding me aloof, Myself holding pen upside down To set down my sign with a frown; Let me from sweet shines seek smiles, I know not where I`ll lie awhile.
