What Makes Me Smile


                                       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.
