A Smile


It can be proven to be many faces A face for the morning A face for the afternoon A face for the evening A face the for the night Its face can be manipulated from several styles, genres, and scenes throughout this secular world. A world made up of beings often corrupted by its possessions rather than the possession of the heart. The heart often distinguishes the face within perfect guidance. This perfect guidance outweighs our outward possessions and allows us to break from ourselves and see the world for which it truly is. So when the world is broken and set free from manipulation and corruption and stripped raw for the good and not for the evil We may learn to smile again. We may learn to smile for the right reasons not for the reasons in which we smile through our teeth and feel forced to achieve an obligation from our instructor. This instructor who is not yet visible to you or I Not yet heard by the public’s opinion. Not yet seen by ridicule and suspicion We must learn to love and learn to live We must learn to forgive, in order to be forgiven We must learn so that we can teach We must drive so that we can be driven Driven to a world where we must do our best & We must pray We must do all things in good will, so that as beings of a secular world; We may learn to smile We may learn to smile with our hearts instead of our teeth With our Faith instead of our Doubt We will learn To Smile We must Smile We have to Smile We simple MUST!
