When a young baby smiles,
we can't help but giggle.
We watch it grin while it's tiny toes wiggle.

When an old woman smiles,
it's simple and mild.
It shows us a lady with the heart of a child.

When a little kitten smiles,
it's playful and tricky.
We know that it's cute,
but also quite picky.

When I show my smile,
I'm happy I feel glad.
I'm no longer bored, afraid, or sad.

But when you smile,
it lights up my life.
It takes pain by the neck and kills it with a knife.

So please keep smiling,
Though I'm sure it won't end.
Because when you feel joy,
you'll smile again.
