Smile Not For All

Friendly smile a lovely gift to exchange Yet frown is what is found in abundance Behind their vacant faces and strange look Prisoners in their hard shell they harbor A world of anger and suspicion A mind harden of distrust takes no Comfort in cheery spontaneous vibes Coming face to face with such kind Hold on to your precious smile Restrain your impulse to be a Goodwill ambassador for all You may not be able to understand The pain of what life stole from them So never mind the callous looks and move on Right around the corner is someone Lonely and desperate for a kind look Struggling to carry on with the day Needing support but hoping for none Him is the one you need to impart Your smile and your kindness In the chaotic life of impersonal cities Among crowd full of strangers Hard pressed can be one To find a soul to share a laugh Be kind to yourself in your silence Rejoice and succumb not to sadness Cultivate joy and happiness A joyful heart sends loving waves Like sun spreading its light Across cosmos day and night.
