Here is a poem I wrote during my Junior year of college for Creative Wrtg class. As I was reading it, I love the fact that my thoughts of smiling have changed since then. But this is what I thought in Feb of 2011. Share your thoughts, I'd love the feedback!
“13 Ways to a Smile”- Nyesha Davis
1.
Look at yourself in the mirror
And smile at the eye of the beholder.
Do not look away.
2.
Embrace the beauty of your features.
From brow to chin.
Thick and thin.
3.
You are the one who creates the beauty.
It is up to you to make it happen for yourself.
4.
Do a good deed for someone, show them they are not alone in this
world.
This will make you smile.
This may be their only way out,
And it is up to you to make it happen for them.
5.
Help out your community.
Provide help at a local senior center. The smiles on their face,
lacking teeth,
Will make you smile just because you know you lent a helping hand.
Take charge and show support.
Help them smile, and it is up to you it make it happen.
6.
Wake up and do a morning stretch.
Allow your bones to reach different sides of the universe.
Embrace your inner beauty asnd stay focused on what you want.
Do the snake position, have your chin become the arrow of the
ground.
Allow your foot to touch the back of your head, and accompany your
ear.
Point your toes to the sky giving it a point right in the eye.
Your body needs a smile, and it is up to you to make it happen.
7.
Kiss your Grandmother.
She is one of many reasons you are here. She loves you, and a kiss
will light up her world.
Hold her tight and show her you are her one and only.
You and her together are Batman and Superman.
She needs her sidekick to make her smile, and it is up to you to
make it happen.
8.
Love your spouse. Put an arm around their shoulder and express.
Kiss them on the cheek and inhale.
Inhale their natural beauty while showing them you care.
A smile is something they need, and it is up to you to make it
happen.
9.
Keep
A
Smile.
10.
It all starts with you.
You receive what you provide to the world.
Give positive energry, receive positive energry.
You may never know who needs it, and it is up to you to make it
happen.
11.
Reach out an open hand with a smile on your face
While helping someone across the street
Leading them to kiss their loved one
While their arm is around their spouses shoulder
They look in the mirror and see the beauty in the eye of the
beholder
And it all started with you,
You are making it happen.
12.
Keep
Smiling.
13.
It all starts with you.
You give and receive.
See and believe.
A smile starts with you.
And
it is up to you to make it happen.
