When You Smile
April 28, 2015
When you smile
it's like a wave of the ocean
pushing past
blue, black, and gold
shimmering like highlighted hair
in the summer dusk
When you smile
it's like a sunset met a rainbow
fell in love
and filled the sky together
with musical colors like a symphony
When you smile
I am the moon, sucking up
your radiant rays
And reflecting it with joy
and loudest praise
When you smile
I get a little dizzy
my world starts goin' crazy
but I don't care
so keep on
don't stop
just be
and smile.

Sometimes we don't feel like smiling, but it's important to know that our joy can affect others in ways we never intended it to. So keep smiling.
