The Journey Inward

A Smile is an invitation,
Goodwill that you extend.
It sets the stage for kindness,
It's how you make a friend.

A Smile is an olive branch,
With it you make amends.
It shows that you are sorry,
And your misstep it transcends.

But a Smile is also yours,
Not just meant to give away.
For when you are feeling pleasure,
Your inner happiness it conveys.
