Turning Up Corners


Smile It is an easy thing to do It is not strenuous like running a mile And embraces those that are blue Smiles are contagious Not like the flu though That would be outrageous They are more like someones hero Smiles are a powerful thing They beat angry and unkind words Take away the sting And can silently be heard All it takes Is for the lips to turn their corners And soon a crooked grin brakes Nothing could be warmer Than smiles turning up their corners
