The Power of a Smile
February 2, 2019
Beautiful sunlight
Lighting the rising city
A child smiling
A baby laughing
A brother feeling pity
A grin in daylight
A light in the night
For his sibling, unhappy
A young girl beaming
No infant crying
Trying to turn him lively
A face turning bright
Looking from his height
At his showing misery
No aspect dying
Everyone whooping
Making him smirk joyfully
Creating delight
For this world of fright
Until he becomes happy
A crowd parading

So this poem is made of 7 haïkus that all rhyme. It was inspired by a true story that happened to me. Hope you enjoy :)
