A curve of the lips
Outwards
Reaching out
To all in sight
Setting their day bright
Like a morning bloom

A smile sets the tone
For many meetings…
It acts as an acknowledgment,
A greeting and often,
An ice-breaker.

The innocent smile of an infant;
The mischievous smile of a teenager;
The all-knowing smile of a parent;
The flirtatious smile of a lover;
The cynical smile of a rival;
The genuine smile of a cheerful person;
All have different connotations…

A smile can script any narration,
Transcend all languages;
Make it your buddy
Carry it with you always!
