A Smile


Gentle Smile
Soft and sweet
Tender
The way my lips lie calm
And soft
Curving comfortably
On the edges.

Like the feeling of a babies skin
No, like that of velvet
A kiss soft like a butterfly
A smile so warm and so welcoming
Teeth shine white like snow
And sparkle
Like a crystal

I make others HAPPY
When I smile
My eyes curve
With delight
And my laugh
Brightens up peoples day

Such a gentle smile
Sweeter than a strawberry
Attracting and
Extremely contagious
A smile so special
I love it about me!

The author's comments:
People always tell me my smile is what makes them happy so I though I would put it into words. I want to spread my smile to others and make it contagious. When someones down a smile can bring them up and I want to do that for someone.
