Ode to a Smile
November 6, 2018
A thunderous storm,
A louder report,
All will now hear my retort!
Be proud young child,
for whenever you smile
You have just broken the chains!
The chains that pain you!
The chains that strain you!
The chains that hold and stain you!
Remember to smile
my sweet summer child!
For the storm inside of you,
the massive, swirling
forever engorging,
swirl of doubt and pain;
is merely a prick
of a small little needle
compared to that of a smile
A smile can free you
can forever release you
from the pain that holds you down
So remember to smile
my sweet summer child
for your smile is one
that can bring out the sun
and banish the storm away
