What Makes You Smile?

What makes you smile?
Is it a memory
Maybe a special moment
It could be as simple as a spoken word
Or perhaps an idea
Does it happen when you look at a picture
How about a song that sparks a memory
Or even a scent that takes you back
Whatever it might be that makes you smile,
Keep it with you always and never be afraid to add to the list
And no matter what happens never forget to smile.

What makes me smile, is reading a poem, and considering the poet that I am reading her fantastic work gives me a smile on face because the talent her is immense. Great write. "What makes you smile" ... never thought of that. Love, Sami.
