A True Smile

A smile shouldn't be taken lightly
Some smile all the time, politely
One thing for sure.

A true smile is joy so pure
With a smile, joy is released from the soul
A process initiated at birth to console.

Every smile makes a soul stronger than before
Beware, do not let joy be ignored
If the joy is not let out with a true smile.

It will build up, for awhile
But after a bit it will spoil slow
Diminishing until it becomes pure sorrow.

Though sorrow is needed for a soul maturing
Pure sorrow may outlast a soul most enduring
When this happens a soul will become stronger.

Once decided it wants sorrow no longer
While smiling keep this in thought
And give all, this life lesson to be taught
