We Are Smiling At You

It's a Family Affair

If you just want to Smile

No he's not the only one

Just check my profile

****************************************

Let's start by listing

The things that make me frown

No, just let me Smile

So I don't let you down

*********************************************

While I was out reading

And commenting around

That made me stop Smiling

At what I had found

***************************************************

Comments from the same authors

All sounded the same

Let me Smile right now

So I won't place a blame

**************************************************

It was clear enough to me that they were

Making their rounds

I was Smiled to myself

Without making a sound

********************************************

I decided right then

I would read your words through

And Smile while I do it

And I hope that will make you Smile too

    Smiling is great and laughter even better. I practice laughter yoga and they will start with smileups. I was told that our brain doesn't know the difference between fake smiles and real, so smile away to have a better day as they will set off our feel good chemicals! Thank you for sharing your smiles!😊🥰
