Smile, Are you With Me?
I want you to stop
Whatever you’re doing right this moment and
Smile
Smile
Because God made you
Beautiful
Smile
Because you’re loved and
Appreciated
Smile
Because you have the power
To make a difference
Smile
Because you know
Even though you’re not sitting next to me
Your smile
Will ignite the fire that
Lights my soul
Smile
Because you know
I’m smiling
And that’s something we can do
Together,
Brothers and sisters need to start
Smiling together
When we smile together
We are powerful
World changers
Nothing we can’t do
No obstacle we can’t overcome
No miracle we can’t make happen
When we smile together
We radiate light
Bright like a Supernova
Drip God’s contagious love
Attack the immune system of hate
Like a virus
Rendering it helpless
Unable to recreate negativity and
Defenseless
Against love’s advance
Until it’s only option
Is to assimilate
Into the culture of love,
And it all starts with you
And that beautiful smile of yours
So stop
Whatever you’re doing right this moment and
Smile
Smile
Because God made you
Beautiful
Smile
Because you’re loved and
Appreciated
Smile
Because you have the power
To make a difference
Smile
Because you know
Even though you’re not sitting next to me
Your smile
Will ignite the fire
That lights my soul
Smile
Because you know
I’m smiling
And that’s something we can do
Together
Brothers and sisters need to start
Smiling together
Smiling together
We are as God intended us to be
Beautiful
Are you with me?
11 Years, 4 Months, and 22 Days
11 years, 4 months, and 22 days ago
I said I do
Ever since then
I have thanked God for blessing me
With a wonderful wife
A fantastic mother
A terrific friend, and
A beautiful soul
I may not celebrate Valentine’s Day
But I do celebrate love, and
My soul has smiled every day
Since you’ve been in my life
What is February 14 to someone like me?
Nothing but another extraordinary day
Where I get to open my eyes and
Thank God for you
The most beautiful soul in the world.
Happy Commercial Love Day
If you have someone
Hold them
If you’re single
Be patient
If you’ve just been dumped
Be thankful
If you’ve just dumped someone
Don’t look back
If you’re pissed at your significant other
Cuss’ them out, and
Then make passionate love and
Work through it
No matter where you stand in your
Relationship,
On love,
Don’t fall for the trap of
Displaying your love and affection through
Consumerism;
And if you must
Spend your money
Make a love offering
To the people of Haiti
Or the Famine victims in the Horn of Africa
Or to battered women in America
Or to a homeless shelter
Or a food bank
Why?
Because love is about unselfish sacrifice
