Smile is Contagious



Smile Is Contagious

let's love one another brother stop all the hate going around
 be proud of who you are on the inside & choose
 to become a beacon of light to a hurting world in need of love
 love is the mere essence of the fabric of my existence
 don't ever try to join up in its resistance
 we can move mountains of evil in our way
 those that never confide to bow the knee to pray
 but is there another way ?
 faceless victims with viscous fangs that bite dripping blood off side
 yet I seek for comfort in a higher power
 my very soul permeates with a reason to share such love
 from a candle light vigil to passing the torch
 we are living in a land so very mean
 Smile is contagious so pass yours on
 sing a lively tune or a love song
 the vibrance of lost exploits from a time ago
 having so much fun with a tender hope that it would last
 the get togethers at the beach
 trying to catch that frisbee way out of reach
 walking hand in hand along the shore
 never felt like this before for you were all I was searching for
 kicking the tin can in the street
 the ice cream man came by with a heavenly treat
 back the it used to mean something to hold open your door for your neighbor
 wearing your finest at the mall with the gell in your hair
 for i shed a single tear cause you were never there
 to bask in the vast expanse of rich tender love
 coupled with a heart filled with gold
 mark the one willing to explore
 so much more with a smile
 cause you knew all the great while
 it was there all the time what I had been searching for
 so today tell somebody there special never forget them
 there is always a great lesson the more you keep on confessing
 like a rainbow in the dark you lit the inner spark to what is is I'm searching for
 when your smiling the whole world smiles with you
 when your dancing truly dancing the sun keeps shining through
 but when your laughing truly laughing the rain won't fall on you
 learn to share with one another the treasure of love
