Poemattic: Poetry and Art for the Soul

when you smile

 

when you smile

a heart is bound to leap

even when deception has kept it

sound asleep

 

when you smile

the image is for keeps

when you smile

someone might smile right back

and put you back on track

 

when you smile

you help someone ease their pain

when you smile

the world may smile with you

and keep you sane

 

when you smile

no one can lose

and no one is to blame

 

when you smile

the alternative is to choose

to be happy

and find that all in life

is still worthwhile

so as the song says

just smile.

I believe a poem can change your life forever. I know many poems I read as a child made a difference in my life. I learned to believe in me. My senses started living along side me. My appreciation for nature and life increased by one hundred percent. As a result I paint, love photography, and I listen and try to pay attention a little bit more to everything around me. I also became a teacher to honor all those teachers who set me straight about life and learning.
