There is a reason,

A reason to smile today,

Even if the cheeks are sore,

And your lip is split,

You have a reason to smile,

At this day.

Because you survived,

Against all odds,

Kept your temper in safe,

Where it couldn't cause any harm.

You have an excuse,

To feel happy,

To smile and feel joy,

Just because you can.

And no one can stop you.

Because it is involuntary,

It is uncontrollable,

Like the laughter

Which we smother,

In a particularly quiet assembly.

So instead of frowns and smirks,

That cut your cheeks,

Let that beautiful smile of yours,

Stretch across your cheeks!

I'm feeling particularly happy today, maybe because it is saturday tomorrow... which equals a holiday! 😊😊
