What’s in a smile, what does it convey?
Express affection or sympathy it may?
Was it sarcasm? Seductive? Or sad smile?
Was it contempt? Or was it sheer desire?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A smile: mouth gaping, showing pearly white;\u00a0
The eyes projecting beams of the soul’s light;
A crinkling of the nose seen sometimes;
An inkling of the heart in a surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was smile genuine, or was it just polite?
Was it embarrassed? Forced? Or nervous?
Was it right? Was it mischief, or was it smug?
Your heart will tell you \u2013 in a sudden jag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A smile has a power; it’s a force.
A smile can move mountains in its course;
And you can sense within your own heart so well,
What smile was, and what it meant to tell .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
