Smiling does not erase hard days, but it can help us walk through them with more hope.
Updated January 22, 2026, by Catherine Pulsifer
It is easy in the good times to smile, but the harder days can test us. Still, a smile can be a small step that helps our heart feel lighter. When we choose to smile, our mood can shift. And when others see a kind smile, it may lift them too. A simple smile can be shared, and it often comes back to us when we need it most.
As Somya Kedia said, "Each day is just another reason to smile." May these poems remind you to smile more, even when life feels heavy. Each poem below is a gentle reminder that a smile can bring light to an ordinary moment.
Smiles Give
Smiles are so cheap, why not willingly give
A dozen a day for each day that we live?
They brighten the face and hearts happy make.
Why not smile with good grace
Just for someone's own sake.
I admire the face that wears the true smile
For in it I trace a friend worth the while
That I look on the face with sweet, true smile.
Smile By Day
Smile by day and smile by night,
Smile when wrong and smile when right,
Smile in sunshine, smile in rain,
Smile in joy and smile in pain,
Smile at trouble near or far,
Smile at every wound or scar,
Smile misfortune down the line,
Smile above the foaming of wine,
Smile abroad and smile at home,
Smile upon land and foam,
Smile when bright eyes meet your own,
Smile with soul and tender tone.
Smile the hours and years away,
Smile unto your dying day!
Smile Once In Awhile
Smile once in a while,
'Twill make your pathway brighter;
Smile once in a while,
"Twill make your pathway brighter;
Life's a mirror, if we smile;
Smiles come back to us;
If we're frowning all the while.
Frowns forever greet us.
Drizzle
When it drizzles and drizzles,
If we cheerfully smile.
We can make the weather,
By working together.
As fair as we choose in a little while.
For who will notice that clouds are drear
If pleasant faces are always near.
And who will remember that skies are gray
If he carries a happy heart all day?
A Great Day
Good Morning, have a great day
May you have more smiles and
Sunshine than you did yesterday
And may tomorrow be greater in every way!
But for today spread sunshine
A smile so bright and kind
By sharing your smile
You could be affecting people for miles.
So let this day be one
Where many people see the sun
Smile more and you will see
People will smile back at thee!
