SMILE

Finally found poems from pre college era ;) Here's the 1st one:

SMILE

If everything was to be lost

If nothing could be saved at any cost

If nothing was going to last

If everything was to become past

And I was given a choice

To keep what I would forever rejoice

I would ask for a SMILE

Even if it was only for a while

For nothing could be as pure

For nothing could be as sure

For it’s the humanity’s soul

For it can capture emotions all

Alas! Today smile is seen as a pang

A group of smilers is seen as a criminal gang

If the smilers are of opposite gender

Smile is seen as an invitation by sender

If a weak smiles in front of strong

It is considered as something hugely wrong

If the strong returns the smile back

It’s considered that self respect he does lack

Children are thought to be thinking evil

And smile is seen as an assurance “we will”

Smile is thought of as a tool for the weak

Or as a sign of someone planning something freak.

But we have to change our thinking

As in quick sand our brains are sinking

We need to see the smile as a way of greeting

And not as a sign of cheating

Smile is the best expression known to mankind

It can be used by all including deaf and blind

One smile can make many’s day

And for it, nothing we have to pay

Smile is a way to make everyone feel good

It’s a sign of humanity and brotherhood

So please “SMILE, SMILE, SMILE”

For those would be the moments spent worthwhile
