If at times you feel you want to cry,
And life seems such a trial,
Above the cloud there's a bright blue sky,
So make your tears a smile,
As you travel on life's way,
With its many ups and downs,
Remember its quite true to say,
One smile is worth a dozen frowns,
Among the world’s expensive things,
A smile is very cheap,
So when you give a smile away,
You get one back to keep,
Happiness comes at time to all,
But sadness comes “unhidden”,
And sometime our tears must fall,
Behind our laugher hidden,
So when our friends have a sadness face,
And their troubles around them pilled,
The world will seem a better place,
And all because you smiled,
What do you thing?

I really enjoyed this poem
I really enjoyed reading your poem. It kind of reminds me of telling my friend to smile when they didn't feel like it but eventually they did and felt better afterwards . Thanks for sharing.

Stanzas 1 and 3 stand out for me. They're the most rhythmical (syllable-count is consistent) and their message is beautifully expressed. The rest is impressive, and doesn't need much to make it better..."As you travel on life's way" might fit in a little easier if you changed it to something like "As you travel a lifetime's way"...and the "its" in the next line isn't really needed (for me anyway).
"And sometime our tears must fall" could be "And sometimes too our tears must fall".
Other than that, this poem goes really nicely. The message is clear, and most importantly the tone is optimistic and almost jumpy
..that's why I mentioned the awkward areas..but it's up to you if you change them.
Good work

Wonderful outlook

Thank you for the sunshine to start the day, let the ink flow!

I like it
I like the attitude of helping one another to feel better by sharing affection and smiles. You are right, they mean a lot, even though they cost nothing.
The verse is simple and direct, which helps you to give this message clearly. The rhymes are mostly good, though instead of "unhidden", may I suggest "unbidden" (unasked). There is a typo in line 2 of the last stanza (piled), but it does not detract from my enjoyment of this poem. Well done!
