Smile show your teeth

Smile show your teeth

Smile, show your teeth if they’re truly yours,

Not false or borrowed, no shiny decor.

A few may be missing, or stained with time,

At least they’re yours, not shop-bought grime.

No need for a mask or a gleaming disguise,

Let your smile be real, no need for surprise.

So, show what you’ve got, even if it’s few,

A grin that’s honest, a smile that’s true.

If they’re crooked or chipped, don’t be shy,

They’ve seen some things, don’t ask them why.

A little yellow, a little worn,

Just means they’ve been well-loved and scorned.

So, laugh it off, don’t hide the proof,

Your smile’s the truth, not some fancy spoof.

It may not be perfect, but it’s all yours,

A real smile’s the one that endures.
