The Power Of A Smile

in #poetry • 7 years ago

Smiling is contagious yet we don't share it enough.

It seems like the people in the world are starting to shut down from all the negativity and evil doings going on across the globe. It's quite sad, but we must continue to smile and wish for peace and a better solution to today's issues.

This poem was written by the great Tupac Shakur. He titled it The Power Of A Smile.

Enjoy.

The Power Of A Smile

The power of a gun can kill
And the power of fire can burn
The power of wind can chill
And the power of the mind can learn
The power of anger can rage inside
Until it tears you apart
But the power of a smile,
Especially yours, can heal a frozen Heart

    There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
    that's gon' make it hard to smile in the future.
    But through whatever you see,
    through all the rain and the pain,
    you gotta keep your sense of humor.
    You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit.
    Remember that.

            I have a one year old. I never raise my voice and when he sees my face he will always receive a smile even when life is trying. Without smiles the world would be bland. I want my kids to grow up filled always with joy. A smile can go a long way in providing that. Much love. 2pac was a prophet, such an artist. Thanks for the poem. @joseph
