A Smile

There are so many frowns

So much sadness.

It curdles our coffee, 

makes bitter our sweet tea. 

Instead today, I adorn myself with the greatest weapon. 

A Smile. 

It is infectious when used right. 

It will win the war. 

I can see it tipping the balance, 

the corner of your lip is crooked, fighting it away. 

Today I refuse to fight it. 

Today I refuse to hide it. 

Today I will not be selfish. 

I will send this note, with love. 

I will help you forge a smile for your rain soaked face. 

So help me win this war.

I don't want to see any frowns anymore. 

No more bitter taste brewed in our mouths. 

Just the greatest weapon and someone to spar with it.
