An Invitation to Smile

A.M. Morgan
Lighten up

And smile more often

Stir the pot and let things spill over a little

Be forgiving and less temperamental

Face insecurity in order to let it go

Brush things off that are frivolous

In order to keep life simple

Lend a friend a helping hand

Appreciate today and take a chance

Take it easy and embrace romance

Entertain an unconventional thought

Say good-bye when necessary

Wish others well in moving on from a love that is lost

For once take a trip and don't worry about a schedule

Imagine it even if it's not easily captured within a heart

Continue to walk down the road to change although it can be a rocky start

Settle for the best of who you are and forget about being something you are not

Take into consideration quality time by keeping your family in mind

Remain thankful for your blessings

And if you are feeling down no matter how much it hurts learn to express it

From the deeps of your soul it's far better to lighten up your spirit

In order to invite a warm and encouraging smile for a permanent visit
