Smile on little one,
And dance through emerald fields.
Dream in your fantasies,
Of prince with sword, and shield;
And smile sweetly on.
Live in the sunny ray.
Keep it in your heart
So on the gloomy day,
You can start,
To smile again.
Smile on little one,
And never stop, to frown.
Author notes
I wrote this from the perspective of a father speaking to a small daughter. I wrote it when i was walking down the street and saw several small girls laughing and playing in the yard (random burst of inspiration but oh well)

So well done
The blessings of youth do truly inspire
Innocence abounds from heaven above
The love of life as we approach the wire
Back to the source of what we would call love
