From ear to ear, I smile,

Utilizing each facial muscle bone,

Pearly whites gleaming,

Twinkle of my eye sparkling,

High cheek bones, minus the dimples,

A soft grin, slight angle of my lips,

I smile…

Through happy and sad occasions,

Laughing off frustrations,

Amused by the simplest gestures,

Because it’s much easier than to frown,

And it makes it much better,

I smile.
