A Powerful Smile

At first glimpse, you will find a contagious Smile…
The kind of Smile you often desire.
A tremendous Smile created by a
Strong family foundation.

A smile so huge because of his religious beliefs
And the inspiration it provided.

A Smile that few great student-athletes possess.
As a teammate, the Smile that ensures
Our team has a great chance in which any
Battle to engage and demonstrate confidence
That he is a true competitor
Who strives for true excellence.

A smile that young children adore—
One that creates excitement in his being.
A smile that recalled his childhood days
As he enjoyed those same memories.
A Smile that kids often seek
When selecting a new hero.

To a co-worker, a Smile that is prompt
And accurate from the very first time.
A smile that says, “Help me learn
And I’ll learn you more.”
One that many different people learned from,
A truly special type of Smile.

A smile a “world of friends” could see
On the opposite end of a message
Because of the compassion
And friendship it displayed.
A smile that demonstrated an uncanny ability
To listen, connect, and relate.

To a stranger, a smile with immediate
Warm rapport and sincere interest
In their general well-being and viewpoint—
Regardless of the subject at hand.
A smile that gained immediate respect with
Each “thank you, sir” or “yes, ma’am”.

A smile that had the desire to
Make a positive difference in so many.

A smile that cannot be forgotten
Because of the meaning it provided.

Do like me—find a mirror and
See his powerful Smile.
