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
