What Makes Us, Us.

A small smile is all it takes

To destroy years of sadness and pain,

To bring joy and laughter back

And make the heart light again.

A small frown is all it takes

To bring back the fears and hate,

To feel alone and wrong in a world of rights

And make the heart heavy again.

A little joy is all it takes

To help the world become awake,

To let the happiness shine through

The heart that had become opaque.

A little anger is all it takes

To dampen the raging fire of fate,

To let the hearth go cold and dry,

To make the heart once again ache.

A few things seem good and bad,

But a little of everything is what makes us, us.

A small smile, a small frown, a little joy and a little anger

Together make this world a better place,

For only in darkness can the stars shine bright,

And only with all the seven colors can a rainbow form.
