Smile

Smile, the greatest asset of mankind;
Every man and woman own with pride.
Let it linger with us
without any prejudice.

Smile, an inexpensive ornaments of humanity;
that perfectly decorates man and woman.
Without it, even the beautiful face bears no charm
and robs all their beauty like an Autumn tree.

A smile costs nothing
and there is nothing to lose either.
Everyone has the privilege to smile
but no providence to live with it forever.

We incredibly lack the ability to smile
When the days are rough and tough.
Those who can manage to smile,
they enjoy the sweetest of their life.

Smile garners smiles
and becomes the seeds of happiness.
This is the only affordable gift,
both the rich and poor can give unconditionally.

Let the smile flourish
beyond oneself to others.
Let it be infectious and unfold happiness in all spheres of life;
people must feel and talk about it even after you’re gone.

To keep smiling from dawn to dusk
isn’t that hard to accomplish the task.
Yet, it requires consistent effort from an individual
to bring a smile to our own and others’ faces.

To smile is a self-responsibility
and to bring a smile in others is a duty to God.
If our smile makes others smile,
it is a fulfillment we must celebrate, together.

We often forget to smile
even when we have abundant reason.
We are overtaken by the shadow
that eclipses our gorgeous smile.
