Smile through it allhave faith that a positiveattitude creates a pathfor you to move forwardSmile to change someone’s daySmile to change your own dayIt’s amazing what one smallsmile can do ….. Try itThey say it takes more musclesto smile than to frownSo lighten upyour load by lightning upNever fully dressed without a smileSmile wide smile brightSmile high smile lowSmile strong smile longFor you’re someone’s lightas they travel a curvy roadIt’s destined to give them lifeThe kind that clears the airand their strifeIt steadies them while they swayDone right it can surelychange their dayYour smile when donewithout much a thoughtan automatic reaction filledwith endless possibilities PleaseDo Smile Edmund Black, 2022See more of Edmund Black’s poetry here Return to Poetry Gallery

Sometimes
Sometimes, What we knowMay not be so. What we wantMay not be good for us. What happensMay not be what we expected We may believeOur blessings are being blocked When really the blockCould be the blessing We’re seeking We must learnTo bend like the trees.

Home is Wherever
I’ve livedmy entire lifebelieving thatHome is buildingA place where youget creative with allyour fancy decorationsyour fancy candle chandelier lightingsA place where I can cookall my fancy gourmet mealsWhile watching my big fancy televisionA place with my fancy four car garageswhere I can park my fancy toysEnter , live and lock my fancy twelve foot doorsAs I spent all my fancy earningsThen with a snap of my fingersone morning I got wised upI realized I was wrong the entire timeThose fancy things aren’t whattruly makes a home at allI was wrongI was broke wrongHome is the space in betweenyour heartHome is wherever I’m with youHome is wherever loveresides , memories are createdlike Instagram photos filling up your heartAnd where laughter never ends.
