The world was burning <br />Our race stopped learning <br />And she just smiled <br />Life seemed more hard <br />All beauty was scarred <br />And she just smiled <br />The hurt was past healing <br />There was no safe feeling <br />And she just smiled <br /> <br />They asked “how can you smile when all is dark? ” <br />She just smiled at this remark <br />They asked “What about pain and fear and war? ” <br />She said “when is a smile needed more? ” <br />They couldn’t understand what she had to tell <br />She just smiled as they tried to fight her <br />And when others saw her smile they smiled as well <br />And the world seemed a little bit brighter<br /><br />Flying Lemming<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-smile-11/
