SMILE

The World is full of pain & strife
Arguments springing up between husband & Wife;
No one in the World is at peace:
Stop It ! Enough Now,,, Please !!

We have long forgotten the power of joy
Let us Learn to laugh, every girl & boy
Let a string of joy adorn our face
Let a smile evoke happiness in every place.

Yes- Smile is indeed the remover of pain;
With happiness our long lost joys, we can gain
Let us light this world up with our smiles.
Joy And happiness lasting for miles.

For when people ,afar, see our caring smile
Forget they will, their own sorrows , awhile
Make merry and celebrate with festive cheer
Laughter's the best Medicine, its quite clear.

For when man entombs his sorrows with joy
Even nature will laugh freely being coy,
Birds and beasts, feeling at calm, will also join
For laughing is free, it doesn't demand a coin !

Thus spite, grief and greed will flee
Hearts of men pumping joyousness with glee;
Man will soon forget the meaning of war
The world will rejoice, joy spread afar.

So ye, denizens of the Earth, hearken:
Do not let the clouds of sorrow in you darken,
Relive life as you haven't lived before, afresh
Live life amongst laughter & happiness !!
