Smile

The following poem was inspired by Marlon Katsigazi who encourages everyone around him to smile and he goes beyond that by sharing many of his smiles as well. We all have reason to smile today. To every reader, happy smiling!

I've seen you down
You've been down for awhile
I want to help,
to lend you a smile
In fact, give you the Source,
the place I get mine
He's the factory of plenty
where the demand never
surpasses the supply
where the request for the smile
is never denied
I'm not just talking about
the curve of the lips in
an upright position
But also about the present condition
of your heart and your mind
together on one accord in agreement
that there are more blessings
than challenges and
the reason is Divine
If Jesus is why
then the smile won't die
He's the factory of smiles
I encourage you to try.
