The sky is shimmering! The sun’s rays resonate for miles! What a beautiful day, But no one smiles
Something so pure, so precious An expressive style A source of happiness and wonder Yet not one smile
Bland faces Blank stares, Gray colors, No cares
Is it empty? Can I make my plea? One person, one person Please set me free!
Did I ask for too much? Oh don’t be absurd One smile, one smile Was all you preferred!
If that is so true, Then I am defeated And I’ll stand by my word My soul depleted
As the wind wisps my hair And my body takes the leap, I close my eyes, my heart And begin to weep
Encompassed by the waves I will float on Unmoving, unsettled I am forever gone
Some ask me why And the answer is clear, For a day without a smile Is not one worth to persevere
This was written as a ballad. A lot of times I think rhyme schemes are a bit elementary....but it worked for this. A little back story - I once heard that a man who had killed himself by jumping of the Golden Gate Bridge had left a note stating that if one person had smiled on his walk to the bridge he wouldn't commit suicide. No one did..... And here we are.
