In honor of World Poetry Day, I'm sharing one of my poems I wrote a couple years ago, hope this inspires others to take the opportunity to write and share their poems, and celebrate the beauty of poetry
The Contagious Smile
Your Smile of Today can lead to someone else’s smile tomorrow
Even when you go through hell and the smile was one you had to borrow
A curve of life that can spread to the world great joy,
Indeed a simple gesture that can cause happiness to deploy
Don’t be afraid to let it show,
Someone’s life today you can change that you may never know
The smile is a great gift from God to share,
Truly the most beautiful thing anyone can wear
All it takes is one to start the chain of reaction,
To many it’s all required for their fulfillment and satisfaction
Fear not to smile today,
For it can be the link to wash many troubles away
Even though behind it so much you can hide
The power of the smile can be able to bring change to the tide
A world where troubles may surround,
A smile can be the one thing that can turn it around
Regardless of the start of the contagious smile,
Everything about sharing it will always be worthwhile
A Beautiful world created from the start,
Nothing like the effects of a smile from the heart
