Smile

A Poem by Aiden C

Smile for the camera

Let go of the balloon

What a fiesta!

Too bad it ends so soon.

Take a pic, capture this

Your unbreakable smile

It’s hard to be emotionless

When you’ve run out of miles

Oh, these are hard times

Barely breaking out of the cage

Don’t forget to read these rhymes

You’ll need them more as you age

Capture mine

In this image

Smile, let the film roll

Alive, your mood unfolds

Emotions do take a toll

Warm day, always cold

Take a snap, capture it

Your unbreakable smile

It’s hard to harbor this

And do it all the while

With a smile
