Analysis of Smile!



Embrace Love not Hate
Love your life; always have Fate.

Smiles go a million ways
you may even make someone's day.

You'll never know if you do not change
it's time for heart to rearrange.

Positive thoughts as negativity does what?
just stings wounds deeper than a cut.

We need everyone to be on the same page
If the energy feels wrong, run, do not engage.

Smiles will go so far in someone's heart
as their bad day just turned that's your part.

You keep your frequency as high as it can go
Watch your life change to any easy flow.

It's not that hard to smile and be nice
The choice is yours so roll the dice.
