Smile Or Frown
Pairs of opposites
Half of them parasites
In the lives of mortals
Invading their portals!
Smile and frown one such
World of difference so much!
Smile attracts, Frown repels
Smile wins, Frown loses
Smile befriends, Frown alienates
Smile infuses love, Frown injects hatred
Smile encourages, Frown deserts
Smile strengthens, Frown weakens
Smile carries, Frown throws off
Humans alone can control
And conquer to play their role!
Sport the smile
Bid adieu to frown
Make others happy
Feel really merry!

The Smile
There is a Smile of Love
And there is a Smile of Deceit
And there is a Smile of Smiles
In which these two Smiles meet
And there is a Frown of Hate
And there is a Frown of disdain
And there is a Frown of Frowns
Which you strive to forget in vain
For it sticks in the Hearts deep Core
And it sticks in the deep Back bone
And no Smile that ever was smild
But only one Smile alone
That betwixt the Cradle & Grave
It only once Smild can be
But when it once is Smild
Theres an end to all Misery

Smile Always!
Smile man, smile! Always smile!
Smile all life and smile in style;
Smiling makes one worriless;
And makes you happy and less tense.
Let your smile be spontaneous;
Smiling keeps body relaxed,
And makes your mind fit and composed;
Smile man, smile! Smile always!
Smile from dawn to until dusk;
That’s one way to beat life’s stress;
Smile to all who come across;
Smile man, smile! Smile always!
Smile and get forever praise;
It will help you pass your days;
You will never feel malaise;
Smile man, smile! Smile always!
Four muscles help you to smile;
Sixty-four help you to frown;
Smile man smile! Smile all days!
Smile man, smile! Smile always!

Smile, Laugh, Live
They say it’s easy to smile, but my dear why frown?
Turn that frown upside down and crack a smile over those lips of yours because you'll laugh when you smile.
Live life don't dwell in misery because when you smile and laugh you live rejoicing another day of being able to breathe.

Behind the Smile
You laugh, i put a smile in place
Suppress a frown that wants to break my face
I show you my pearly whites
You smile while inside my spirit fights
Like my masquarade in the farce of life's parade?
You happy now that I'm fine outside?
Ever thought of what's boiling inside?
You think everything's alright now
Just cause i smile and muck about.
But if you care to wait awhile:
You'll find a frown behind the smile.
Wait awhile, there might be something behind the smile....

The Knotting Song
"Hears not my Phyllis how the birds
Their feathered mates salute?
They tell their passion in their words:
Must I alone be mute?"
Phyllis, without frown or smile,
Sat and knotted all the while.
"The god of love in thy bright eyes
Does like a tyrant reign;
But in thy heart a child he lies,
Without his dart of flame."
Phyllis, without frown or smile,
Sat and knotted all the while.
"So many months in silence past,
And yet in raging love,
Might well deserve one word at last
My passion should approve."
Phyllis, without frown or smile,
Sat and knotted all the while.
"Must then your faithful swain expire,
And not one look obtain,
Which he, to soothe his fond desire,
Might pleasingly explain?"
Phyllis, without frown or smile,
Sat and knotted all the while.

Smile
My face full of happiness,
My energetic excitement,
My eagerness,
They are all shown by my cute smile,
It is very precious,
And it is very unique too,
It is one of the uncountable,
And I will never let it go down,
And never frown, never frown, never frown....

Smile little man
Smile little man, smile!
Show me some love
Radiate some care
Lighten up the atmosphere
Scare us not with a retarded fearful face
A smile goes a lenghty way at a steady pace
Everytime I see you, I see your frown
Your thoughts are glaring at me as if I am a vicious enemy
Demanding of you to surrender to my battalion army
Why not change your facial expressions for once
If you deem yourself not worty of silver, at least aim for bronze
Common smile little man
Show me some white teeth
Give me some love
Acknowledge I'm here
Why hath thou so miserable, day by day
A smile will make a difference to your face
Your smile will make you attractive in every place
A smile will make us listen sympathetically to your case
Drive not away the innocent ones
Allow not your frown to spoil our fun
Smile little man, smile
Smile, once, then smile twice
Smile for the ladies, smile for you
Smile for me, smile for everyone
Smile for the old ladies crossing the street
Smile little man, smile
Common give some real love for once
If you deem yourself not worty of silver, at least aim for bronze

If We Cant Have You
Hang a picture up on your wall
Tighten all the nails so it dont fall
In this picture, could have been a picture of my face
Something painful, went and took its place
If he cant have you, guess that no one else will
Watch him think a while, smoke a cigarette and smile as I frown
If he cant have you, guess that no one else will
Watch him think a while, smoke a cigarette and smile as I frown
Drink your coffee in the morning,
And at night, go and drink your beer
All along you dont feel so welcome here
And I walk by, and you steer clear
You always said, itd come passionate here
Dont like what you see, you dont like what you hear
If he cant have you, guess that no one else will
Watch him think a while, smoke a cigarette and smile as I frown
If he cant have you, guess that no one else will
Watch him think a while, smoke a cigarette and smile as I frown

When I Smile
It is like a bright day to come
When you smile
It is a joy to my heart to see you in such happiness
In other words Smiling reflects throughout my whole life
Smiles i say to you
Shows a very high self-esteem of someone

Through one perfect simple smile

Smile … Dear Smile
Walk up to smile.
Fondle well to smile; Bring hearts from a mile.
Set heart to smile; Get muscle to smile.
Smile whispers one nest; A million senses to crest.
Smile to shine; bring out yawning spirits from whine.
Troubles' far gone with smile; Pains fade away with smile.
Give joy to heart with smile; Live for forever with smile.
Envy not to smile; Frown not to smile; for you have fond smile.
Win with smile; nothing lost to smile; Share contagious smile.
Winter, spring, summer or fall; be smile season to call.
All I want S.M.I.L.E.;

Please Smile
Smile for me today,
It’s a beautiful and breezy afternoon.
The breeze if blowing, all the grass are dancing, why shouldn’t you.
I want you to smile for me.
I want to see that beautiful smile.
I want to see those cheeks of yours run red with joy.
I want to see u jump with glee.
Most of all I want to see you smile.
Why don’t you smile for me?
All I want is one smile.
One smile that can help me get through my days of despair and hate
Without your smile there is no meaning of life.
With every frown u make my heart begins to break down.
With every dropp of tear u make, the ocean I must drain.
Can’t u smile for me?
I must know, am I not good enough for that one smile?

A Smile
A smile
is a frown turned upside down.
A smile
is painted on the face of a clown.
A smile
brightens a dreary day.
A smile
chases tears away.
A smile
is a gift that shows you care.
A smile
is priceless no matter where.
A smile
is the key to happiness.
A smile
a sure sign of success.
When you feel lonely in a strange place.
It helps to see a smile on another's face.
If there is any real magic around.
It is the silent magic of a smile's sound.

What s IT Take To Smile
(08/29/11)
All it takes is a simple word or gesture
To make a persons day
While others may turn their backs and
Look the other way.
You may wake up with that grouch
That lurks within
But if you don’t allow it - it can never win.
Greet the day with a smile - for you
Have awakened to another day.
And to the LORD - a thanks you should say.
If you’re with a smile, and give a greeting
For the day,75% of the time
You will hear them say
Good morning, good evening, good day.
Take that frown and turn it upside down
Bitterness is a heavy crown.
There are people who will snap at you
For anything that you might say
But this is not their normal way.
Every one has a bad day or two
But it doesn’t have anything to do with you.
So just keep that smile on your face
And look to stare them down
And their face will change
to a smile from a frown.

Smile Power
A smile can be loose
A smile can be tight lipped
It can be acidic
Or be in honey dripped
A smile can be heart rending
If tendered in sad farewell
And also be heart mending
Quite curative as well
A smile when one is needed
Can be the lift one needs in life
Can be so slight as to go unheeded
Can be the salve to soothe one’s strife
A smile given in greeting
Can melt the iciest kind of soul
Given broadly or in fleeting
Given partially or in whole
A smile can be easy to conjure
Can be false in all it’s construction
Inappropriately timed can injure
And can cause much grief and destruction
It takes twice the amount of muscles
For the face to form a frown
Yet only half as many muscles
To turn that frown upside down
It’s not given the respect, that it’s due
It’s not always used in the best way
yet is also the best expression one can use
To make the best impression…throughout each day
One final thought
before this piece is past…is
That people who are too tight with a smile
Are usually drear and tight-assed!

A Heartfelt Smile
Your smile in this ambient grace
Her refulgence here sets aglow
While many still prefer to frown
To douse every flicker and glare
And your unfeigned smile grants
Her brilliance each morn' sprang
After my nights a glitter starved
Your smile, duly welcome prayed
Others their feigned smile dole
Hidden frowns beneath a wave
Yours unpretentious and brave
Set to compose a troubled soul
Her genuineness is illuminating
Real, heartfelt and invigorating
To set aflame my slothful spirit
Effuse inspiration without limit
And your smile a sweet aroma
Composed with a gleeful crown
To squelch the morning drama
Yet, many still prefer to frown

Hidden
Do you really smile
When you smile?
Or like me
Smile for others to see.
The face of a clown
Replaces the frown
Just for a short while
It's a look of style
Are you laughing
Whilst deep inside crying
The smiling
All just lying
Do your eyes water
When you give no quarter
Tears glisten in the sun
When love is all done
DO you really smile
When you smile?

Smile--Smile--Smile
A smile is beautiful with all its charm
Something to give but does no harm
A smile is a frown only upside down
It has a good feeling, just look around
A smile is a flash that cannot be sold
It has everlasting pleasure we are told
A smile is like the sunshine at its very best
Some wear it all the time until they lay down to rest
A smile is valuable like silver and gold
But it cannot be bought just always on hold
A smile is nothing till someone gives it away
Just try your best to receive it some day
A smile is like a statue that enriches the mind
You cannot steal or throw away but not hard to find
A smile is for the rich also for the poor
The benefits are the same till there is no more
A smile is for everyone with its action so true
It creates happiness in the home for me and you
A smile is a smile as known to mankind
Stand up in front and smile not stand behind.

A reason to smile
A reason to smile
Is that it looks better than a frown
It makes you feel happy
With no sense of feeling down
A reason to smile
Is that your smiles so bright
You could replace our sun
Your smiles full of light
A reason to smile
Is you’ll always look your best
Even though you always do
You’ll feel more blessed
A reason to smile
Is others look up to you
They want to be the same
Someone who is true
A reason to smile
Is that it shows who you are
So go on and smile
And shine like a star
