Is that a tear hiding in your smile?

Is that a tearful joy or hurtful tear?

Go ahead let your feelings shout;

The world will listen anyhow.

You are not alone don’t you think twice;

You are surrounded, believe my advice.

Your countenance projects joyful spirit;

Your eyes present sadness and scatteredness.

Why hide from your smile if you can cry in the open?

Why cover the truth with dishonest truth?

Here hold my hand feel my love and compassion;

My calmness to embrace your troubles.

Smile.

Let your smile bury your tears.

Let your smile shatter the pain and brokenness.

Smile.

For the sun will rise again.

For the storm too shall pass.

Smile.

There is always hope for tomorrow.

There is a door when they shut the window.

Smile.

I am here and will always be.

I am an ear and forever your cheerleader.

Smile.

Your smile is precious, let it be pure.

Your smile is a blessing, let it be shared by all.
