Smile, Smile, Smile Away!
Be friendly and produce a smile-
Alongside an ‘Hallo’ which is the seedling
Of authentic love. What we as a species
Require in order to share life,
In order to enjoy life.
The opposite can be a cold response
To each other by a complete neglect
Of what authentic friendship and love
Is all about! The latter emanating from
Our Creator’s nature.
Oh, yes, there is much that we will
Experience in life that is cross filled
But a commitment to friendliness
Ensures the experience of what
Our species requires.
Yes, people should be free to act
As they want but there are certain
Aspects of behaviour that will provide
A society with friendless and the basis
Of the product of love.
