Analysis of Smile



Everyday you should smile

Why be mad and sad when it's easy to be glad

Don't worry because you'll only be here for a short while

Be an enthusiastic spirit even when things get bad

Be a rose to all those who've lost site of hope

No matter what live life like it's your last day

Blossom into a fire that always help others cope

Ask to pollinate their souls with glee every time you pray

With a compassionate smile fill every moment with cheer

Be the bee that keeps their heart abuzz

With warmth make their conscious cease to fear

Let your present uplift minds out of a fuzz

Never for a second let your smile perish

Precious is time so in every moment truly cherish
