Smiling For Freedom
Always discussion, contemplation of yin or yang good or bad happy or sad
Backache not great from real or imagined weight, can become light as a feather finding something to tickle our fancy
Troubled by these days and times, brief laugh can slow the grief, little cheer to help fill that gap
Over contemplation of your current situation can become a curse, STOP thinking to see new color or take in what was wacky
Take a walk on down the road lighten the load, watch some goofy geese squawk, offbeat memory to halt a future hemorrhage, new mark on our merry map
Have a place to save the happiness hidden treasure to retrieve at our leisure, like finding rare art in a personal grin gallery
Can we rehearse? will the sadness reverse, participate in rolling on, go with the flow, by golly be jolly not another emotional sap
Hidden tension helps hide apprehension, moment of gladness to release some sadness, whatever it takes to recharge our battery
Shall we continue to ride aboard a ship of fools, or find pleasure in hidden treasure, renewal from a shiny jewel, sorrow should never become a handicap
Will a grin help us win, take a gamble skip a pre-amble let it go, turn a frown upside down, helps to hold hope in scope for eternity
Try a new angle another way to finagle, turn off the blues and hear a rumba, cheerful groove for us to behoove, make your toes tap or the hands clap
Do we dare go the extra mile to realize finding freedom of a smile, expression halts regression, mutual benefits from waving at a passerby R.C.
A thought or two on the power of a smile :) Even a forced smile can become a habit. Pass them on they are contagious :) "Peace Takes Practice" Thanks for reading your comments are helpful. Rick :)
