Smile





As I aimlessly wonder about

My mind full of thoughts that shout

I lose my focus while I take each step

Coz my eyes are blurred by tears wept



I sit down in the middle of this mall

Looking at faces, bodies, reflected on the walls

I wonder if they have the burden that I bear

Or are they just carefree and curiously unaware?



I look for a face that bears a smile

So I can forget my troubles for a while

A smile that has innocence and love

A grin that is meek as a dove



I try to look for a baby’s smile

Coz they seem so genuine, calm, worthwhile

An infant’s beam with their tiny little lips

Can tame a tiger to release its grip

Their smile can disarm that coldest heart

Makes you wanna make a brand new start



As I look around in this crazy place

Longing for the smile on that Angel’s face

Take me back to those innocent ways

Where I would never see the end of days
