The Power Of A Smile

in poetry •  7 years ago 

Smiling is contagious yet we don't share it enough.

It seems like the people in the world are starting to shut down from all the negativity and evil doings going on across the globe. It's quite sad, but we must continue to smile and wish for peace and a better solution to today's issues.

This poem was written by the great Tupac Shakur. He titled it The Power Of A Smile.

Enjoy.

The Power Of A Smile

The power of a gun can kill
And the power of fire can burn
The power of wind can chill
And the power of the mind can learn
The power of anger can rage inside
Until it tears you apart
But the power of a smile,
Especially yours, can heal a frozen Heart

There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
that's gon' make it hard to smile in the future.
But through whatever you see,
through all the rain and the pain,
you gotta keep your sense of humor.
You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit.
Remember that.

Quite a touching piece of poetry. Smile can really affect the life of a recipient positively. Smile really brings out the beauty i n every one of us.

I really like your cool words. They are polished refind diamonds. How can we appreciate great soul @joseph .Its a beautiful poem@upvoted and resteemed

beautiful poem

I have a one year old. I never raise my voice and when he sees my face he will always receive a smile even when life is trying. Without smiles the world would be bland. I want my kids to grow up filled always with joy. A smile can go a long way in providing that. Much love. 2pac was a prophet, such an artist. Thanks for the poem. @joseph

I would love if the man in the photo on this post smiled me.

(Sorry, the Saturday night effect xDDD)

Sweet n true. This reminds me of the old proverb. A merry heart does good like medicine but a broken spirit drys the bone. it is said we use 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown... keep on smiling and when you cant...that is when counting your blessings and meditating on good things will make us happier. I heard they did a study on atheist college students. For one week they were to meditate that God is good though they dont believe in God. At the end of the test, they were much happier. Go figure. We should not spend too much time on negative news

Really effective and true words, nowadays everyone is living in the world of rat race where most of us fighting with each other and smile is next thing people think two times to talk with fellow people and most of us are closed ourselfs in the virtual world, virtual world is cool but it's fake because the real life is organic way of living and spreading the love and brotherhood and believing in one world one family. And smile is an greatest power of expression which can heal people so at least you can spread smile on sad faces. 🙂

Stay Blessed.

Great article in my opinion, Tupac is a legend, a great man,I really like his songs. Thanks for sharing
