A Smile Better than Mine
A smile better than mine, that’s my mother's smile;
A smile that's true, pure and unconditional.
A smile that shows that you can be invictus through the hardest times of life;
A smile that instantly put you on a high and forget the world.
A smile that could light up the sky, that can melt the coldest of hearts;
A smile that brings unity and togetherness.
A smile that shows the happiness seeing the joy and laughter of other people;
A smile that shines when I succeed, a smile that warms me when I'm in need.
My mother's smile is the best smile in the world,
And trust me, it hurts me when I say someone smiles better than me because I have a good smile.
But I have to admit no smile in the world is better than my mother's smile.
A smile that shows her struggles and pain, a smile that raise 4 boys as a single mother.
Her smile shows the leftover wounds when her marriage broke down,
A smile so strong it has carried her through rings of fire, shelter her through the turmoil’s of life.
My mother smile shows the appreciation of Life, it shows love in all its forms;
It shows heartbreak and happiness, it is an emblem of contentment.
A status, a status of loving who you are, loving all that you know;
A smile that doesn’t categorize your caste, religion, sex, status, human or an animal.
A smile that puts on a show through the hardest of times.
A smile that can make everyone around you stand stall when everything else falls;
A smile that says no matter what happens around us, we will try and go on.
P.S : This is a note I wrote as an office assignment on "A Smile Better than Mine' and it is one of my proudest yet..... I love you Mom XOXO
