Smile


I see the smile

The curve of the lips

The brightness of the teeth

But where is it?

Is it on a person or the planet?

It usually abides on the face, the identity

It defines who you are

Its longevity determines your happiness

Is it long , short, wide, or skinny

Regardless, it is still a smile

You are the cause of the smile, and the locator

Your face houses it

You smile because life is good

Because you’re laughing

Because you feel joy

Because something amazing happened

Because it is the very thing that makes life enjoyable
