Reasons to Smile

I've heard it’s a bad world out there
filled with people who don’t care,
with not a trace of goodness left,
hopes murdered by treachery and theft.

But a fleeting smile on a stranger’s face,
a hand to clasp on gloomy days,
tears of joy, someone to befriend
a heart that awaits sorrow’s end,

blossoming love in differences stark,
a burning candle in the darkest of dark,
fiercely kept promises, never forgotten,
the tender touch of a child begotten,

patterned doodles on new painted walls,
space on the bed for the bears and dolls,
a love-struck couple on a romantic date
and words of apology, sincere even if late

tell my heart to bring forth the smiles
that will surely see me through miles;
I believe there’s goodness everywhere
if only to see them we show some care.

P.S : My list of reasons to smile is endless, just shared a few. Keep Smiling :)
