Someone asked me to smile

just a twitch of lips he said

I twitched &turned, but he didn’t call

it a smile. I blinked and wondered

have I forgotten how to smile!

I saw them around, every lips twitched

none frowned, simply creased in happiness

& here was I wondering how to smile.

He smiled for me to see, he tickled me

and I frowned !

Just when he was about to give up

I got a glimpse of  his despair,

I smiled, twitching as he had taught

and in return, I got a happy laughter

now why did I smile? If I had to laugh?

I could cry, but I did smile

for someone, who needed my smile

such desperately. But then he got greedy,

he wanted my laughter

Something so very forgotten, and yet

just a few more muscles he said

take it to smile & then set yourself free

that’s how you laugh,

I watched him in awe, I asked God

for many more…smiles and laughter

and so much more.And I got my share of

joy, in a bundle of smiles and laughter

who taught me in love,the

first  step of life…namely how to smile!
