Dialects. Accents. Inflections. Parlances. Tone
The tongue sets off the mind with ideas on loan
If we could guide the mind and hold the tongue a while
We could create a common language simply with a smile
Sometimes a smile can do what loads of attitude cannot
Sometimes a smile is what you need more than all you have got
If we could guide the heart and hold the cunning and guile
We could create a bond forever simply with a smile
From even behind a masquerade we can sense friendliness
Tangible treasures may excite yet intangible generates happiness
If we could guide the greed and hold back self-indulgence and rile
We could create an agreeable balance simply with a smile
When the eyes twinkle with joy and touch base with the heart
We forget so many aches and pains and prepare for a new start
If we could guide heartbreaks and then learn to resist bile
We could create a happy place simply with a smile
They bring memories of all the good times we have had
Smiles are worn best on a spirit that is wounded and sad
If we could guide naïveté and summon our inner child
We could create harmony in being simply with a smile
