Friendly smile a lovely gift to exchange <br />Yet frown is what is found in abundance <br />Behind their vacant faces and strange look <br />Prisoners in their hard shell they harbor <br />A world of anger and suspicion <br />A mind harden of distrust takes no <br />Comfort in cheery spontaneous vibes <br />Coming face to face with such kind <br />Hold on to your precious smile <br />Restrain your impulse to be a <br />Goodwill ambassador for all <br />You may not be able to understand <br />The pain of what life stole from them <br />So never mind the callous looks and move on <br />Right around the corner is someone <br />Lonely and desperate for a kind look <br />Struggling to carry on with the day <br />Needing support but hoping for none <br />Him is the one you need to impart <br />Your smile and your kindness <br />In the chaotic life of impersonal cities <br />Among crowd full of strangers <br />Hard pressed can be one <br />To find a soul to share a laugh <br />Be kind to yourself in your silence <br />Rejoice and succumb not to sadness <br />Cultivate joy and happiness <br />A joyful heart sends loving waves <br />Like sun spreading its light <br />Across cosmos day and night.<br /><br />Savita Tyagi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/smile-not-for-all/
