The Smile

The Smile

A smile is such a nice gift the God above.
It is a way to show friends love.
An expression of joy that causes a person to grin.
A big row of teeth, above your chin.

Often it is used to brighten a room.
It helps fight against depression and gloom.
"How can one lose it?" I ask myself.
"Where did I put it? On a hidden shelf?

When I have it; it refreshes my very soul.
It is gone now. Sucked into a black hole.
"How long is it going to remain out of my grasp?"
The tears will be coming now. With no smile, I'll collapse.

Never underestimate the power that a smile contains.
For without it, you are nothing more than hollow remains.
When a friend you meet greets you with a smile, grin, laugh or smirk.
Hug them for their beauty, and that wonderful quirk.

I am walking in my thoughts; mile by agonizing mile.
Searching and searching........where is my smile?
