A smile is a frown,
only turned upside down
it comes from the inside
and spreads all around

Like clowns from a car
it seems to keep coming
at first, it only walks,
but soon, it starts running

Bumping into others
it casually spreads,
reaching to all
like a non-ending thread

And so if you smile,
whenever you’ve read
this strange little poem
from inside my head-

It’s your turn to share,
your smile with another,
maybe with a friend,
a sister or brother.
