Even if it doesn't quite reach your eyes or touch the surface of your soul; smile
Because somewhere someone is waiting for that sign of happiness even if it's from a stranger; smile
Maybe it will be the start of something beautiful because a little brokenness goes a long way and in the depths of my broken soul, I hope that someday my smile saves someone
Smile
because even if your not saving yourself maybe you're saving someone else and perhaps that’s enough. Perhaps in this world, everything is turning a little too fast and the leaves are falling a little too much as I try to differentiate between what is and and what isn't and maybe time needs to slow down so I can smile
Smile
Because we are still breathing and the world is still turning
And the sun is still shining
And the poets are still writing
And maybe one day my smile might reach my eyes
And my eyes will light up brighter than the moon and stars
That gives this earth light in the darkness

So today I will smile
