A Smile Once In A While

So often it doesn’t take too much to make a persons day, I know for me just a simple smile says it all. I don’t think I should have to plead or beg for it, so anyone who reads this may consider of all I could ask for. All I request is a smile, oh to be pleased with the simple things through life, on a serious note, a smile can tell you a lot about how your day is going and how they should speak to you so consider this a small gift to all you meet, the good part is that IT’S FREE.

A Smile Once In A While

I never ask for anything,
I know you can’t afford,
Just a smile once in a while,
The one everybody adored.

I don’t need your full attention,
Just ten percent of the time,
But a smile once in a while,
That would be just fine.

Gentle words we’ve spoken,
We’ve shared along the way,
Just one smile once in a while,
Would really make my day.

We can have our down days,
And we can tire before the night,
Just give me a smile once in a while,
So I’ll know things are alright.

You give them away so freely,
To all you’ve spoken to,
So give me a smile once in a while,
That’s all I’m asking of you.

You know you can’t deny me,
What I ask, you can afford,
Just give a smile once in a while,
yes The one everybody adores.

Smiles truly don't cost anybody anything. I smiled as I read your poem.

I am so fortunate to have had my friend, RaeLynn Teller, suggest you and that I post on this site.

I look forward to reading your upcoming poems, so I'm tracking you.

This a beautifully written poem
Your choice of words have painted a picture
Of what a smile can do A smile can change
A sad day to happy one!!
And they said that if you smile you will not
Age as fast lol
Powerful message

With excellent Imagery and flow!!
Outstanding Write!!
Love And Peace and hugssss to you...Morning Star

Life would be so much simpler if everyone smiled; it takes fewer face muscles to smile than to frown. Enjoyed!

Rose,
Sometimes a smile is enough reassurance to our hearts and our minds. It is amazing how something so simple can provide such a sense of peace and hope. A beautiful poem.

Thanks,
Jill

Beautiful write darlin, but it seems a certain person seems to think he knows it all when in actuality he knows very little and probably doesn't know how to smile anyway or has a terrible smile and can't show.

Love to you darlin

Well I think Rose contrary to someone else's dissillusioned state of mind that this is a wonderful poem and that smiles can go a long way...yes even to someone who us suffering from cancer. Beautiful write and a wonderful attitude that more of us should adopt.
Smiles and hugs,
Fee

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
