There is a smile of love,And there is a smile of deceit,And there is a smile of smilesIn which these two smiles meet.

A smile is the best way to deal with difficult situations. Even if it's a fake one. Used properly, you can fool anyone with them.

The moon, like a flowerIn heaven's high bower,With silent delightSits and smiles on the night.

Maman told me that every time you smile, a very tiny bit of the smile stays stuck to your face, so as you get older and older your face starts to show all the tiny bits of all your smiles and you look like you are smiling all the time, even when you are just thinking about what to have for breakfast. She said, also, that if you frown a lot then the frowns stick to your face instead. That way when you are old you have a very frowny face and look cross all the time and people are scared of you.

If you smile when you are alone, then you really mean it.

Sweet babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys and secret smiles, Little pretty infant wiles
