The Smiles of Today

If you had a fight with a friend,

Had a rough day at work,

Or anything similar…

The best is to mitigate those feelings

And not spread them with other people around you

Who have nothing to do with them

But of course, the feelings can still linger

You can’t just stay like that all day long

Once you come home,

Your dog can greet you.

Come to you with the happiest intentions

Seeing it anxious to play while wagging its tail is uplifting,

You can’t deny it

The same goes for any mascot,

They're happy to see you.

What if you then see your kids?

You know they can cheer you up

With every little innocent gesture and silly comment,

You can forget the stress of the day

The hardships can stay in the past.

You then think and analyze

You cannot frown upon a smile,

A genuine smile

This gesture can change your day for the better

From whoever it is from

It doesn’t matter if it’s a funny smile from an eager child

Or from a loved person who understands your struggles

And wants to show their support

Imagine what a smile can do

What your smile can do

Don’t even think about limiting them!

Share it with the world.

Anyone can have their world turned upside down,

Why not be kind to one another?

That’s why a smile is my daily dose of sunshine

“A smile is happiness you’ll find right under your nose.” Tom Wilson
