To Smile

Smiling

A simple concept

Or it it?

Yes, it's easy to do

but what does it mean?

Some never smile

while others never stop

but why?

For just like everything

there is more than one answer

And like every question

not all are right

Much like before, yes

but now you must listen

listen to the silent

For each smile speaks

Understanding, glee, happiness,

encouragement

Shown in a smile

not one smile

Never

but many smiles on many faces

To smile is to explain

to show emotion,

mercy

No smile is the same

in categories, maybe

nothing more

And you?

What is your smile?

And a new beginning 

Arrives

This poem actually felt provoking of my thought. It seemed like I was reading step through step of your questioning of smiled which helped carry the flow and coherence of this piece. Great job. Simply can't think of a criticism.
