Why Did You Smile

"Why did you smile?"

She looked at her questioningly

The woman in the mirror looked back

And they smiled together

Because you are pretty when you smile

You are reassuring and confident

You are warm and full of hope

You are life itself

Because smile is the winter sun

That makes everything looks dazzling

That bring promises of spring

That makes the buds of dream grow

Because smile is a mini summer

A short time where everything seems right

A moment where you seemed to live forever

A period where you are fulfilled

Because smile lift up the burden in us

Even when we are faking it

The little corners of our lips are the buoys

As they rose higher, so does our spirits

Because smile is a refreshing drink

The strong iced coffee that shocks us

The flavorful berry tea that invigorates us

The spicy warm cocoa that seduces us

Because smile is comforting and tender

Like your favorite blankie or teddy bear

Like the embrace of your trusted ones

Like the lit hearth during the storm

Because smile is contagious and unstoppable

It starts with one and ends with countless

Like the wave sound or water ripples

Or domino stacks that run forever

See your smile? Now you feel good

He sees your smile, now he feels good

She sees his smile, now she feels good

The chain keeps getting longer and brighter

"Why did you smile?"

Because I look pretty when I smile

Because it made me happy when I smile

Because I can, I want to, and I'm loving it.

Now tell me, why did you smile?
