A smile.
Something that everyone loves to see.
It can brighten up any miserable day.
But behind every smile,
There is always meaning.
You never know:
Their heart could be overjoyed, or in a million pieces.
These little things are just so complicated.
Humans will never learn to understand.
But that’s how life is;
They throw sticks and stones along with flower petals.
Not succeeding, losing someone you loved.
Doing well in that test, your friend cheering you up;
They all happen for the best - for your happiness in the future.
So in the end,
Just remember to smile.
