Not every smile means joy
Some are stitched from pain
You learned to fold your sorrow
Into something warm again
You stayed soft through fire
Let go without demand
Your kindness isnt weakness
Its a light you lit by hand
A smile is my faith
Not to please but to shine
True healing is choosing love
After walking the hardest line
May you never lose your softness
Even through the storm
For those who carry tenderness
Are the bravest ever born
