Just a smile
not that much to ask
and if your heart has wings
its a simple little task
You might feel it in your fingers
maybe tingling in your toes
then soon you'll feel it spreading
there! just beneath your nose
Your eyes begin to twinkle
your cheeks turn rosy red
with happy thoughts, or warmth or love
all mingling in your head
Then you realize what you've done, you can't change
it now
and you see your smile reflected back as my own begins
As yours, it starts slow, just a slight
wrinkle, but soon its gaining steam
my eyes alight with your caring warmth
though they seem hazy, as in dream
As mine still grows, yours broadens too,
soon both are stretching near a mile
The world has changed, all by your act
You'd say "It was nothing"
Just a smile
