The smile and the frown A frown is a smile turned upside down, An expression of debase. A smile is a frown just turned around, Manifestation of grace. There is a distance between the two The frown has a sense of no And with the slightest turn of cheek A smile turns it to bravo. These simple symbols that we bear In the movements of our face Has a world of difference in its flair, With the smallest grace of space. Language ancient beyond our known The simplest turn around, A statement that we all are prone And the effects are profound. And I'm sure the smile and the frown, Were both invented by a clown. |

I've turned this frown  around and I've given it a smile . Well written and I love the way you've described our two most used facial expressions. kat |

So true and can make the world of difference to those around you as well as how you or they, see your world...up or down, wrinkled or smooth, nothing matches a twinkle or a tear... HUGS |
