Analysis of Smile
While others are busy moping around
Discouraged by life's ups and downs
I never let myself get down
A smile I wear proudly
It hurts too much to frown
So I pass my smile along gladly
To you a passing by friend
Take it
Embrace it and give it to another
A neighbor, friend, stranger or brother
A smile I give to you
A free boost of energy
That floats along magically,
Contagiously
An influential powerful force
A Smile
