when you smile the whole words brightens
and your own roses bloom
and your love of life thickens
when you smile the sun recognizes itself on foot
and places its warmth at the front of your hearth waiting for kind thoughts and hopeful rhetoric to push it into your fire
and when it's added, I can see the gleam
emerging from your eyes
when you smile even though it has been rough
I see my humanity in you and I smile, too
when you smile the whole world bears fruit
