A smile can travel far and wide it needs no language, none to guide it crosses seas, it climbs the skies and lights the dark in others’ eyes it speaks of hope, of love, of cheer its gentle voice is always near no words can match the sound it makes the way it lifts, the peace it wakes so when you grin, the world will know the beauty that your lips can show for smiles connect both near and far a quiet, universal star
