Spare a Smile

image source
Today i awoke, got out of bed,

still can't seem to fix my head.

Tried what seemed to work before,

my attitude is really poor.

Wishing away the anger now,

don't want to spend another frown.

Perhaps someone will spare a smile,

it will be mine for awhile.

When that smile has been spent,

all the extras have been lent,

i hope i can find one of my own,

so i can have one to loan.

Someone will be pissed like me,

mad for nothing, want to scream.

But i will have a smile to spare,

it will help to ease their cares.

So scrounge up a smile for me,

maybe then i can be happy.

    Gee, that is such a good one that it can stand alone as a famous quote!

    As to the emotional heart struggle in the poem, spiritual development is like that: some days you get the bear and some days he gets you. Over time you become more aware of the process to work out of it and eventually both the issue and the process evaporate because you don't need either one. Practice, practice, practice. (sigh)

    Put some interesting articles about meditations, different disciplines, from various authors on my healing blog (link on The Social Poets site)that you might find useful in your journey. I love discovering new voices to promote!

    Keep writing poetry! There is something about writing poetry that works both the brain and the emotions to new heights of greater development - latest study.
