Have you ever seen
a porcupine smile?
prickly they may be
but even they know how to
smile
the art of smiling
takes up the whole face
I think of smiles
on grandfatherly faces
Wrinkles
emphasizing the eyes crinkling
the upturned dimpled cheeks
it has been forgotten
how to smile
even sitting alone-
it is still an option
Seeing smiles makes me grin
No matter how my day goes
I see
And I follow
I am a smiley person.
Like the smiley faces
in emoticons
my face might wrinkle faster
but I don’t care
I know I’ll be happy
I love to see a smile
When other people grin
I know
It’s not a permanent thing
They know how to frown
They are human too
So am I
When I see eye wrinkles
I think of certain people
The ones who know
The art of smiling
