I Am Collecting Smiles

I Am Collecting Smiles

“A heartwarming poem about collecting smiles like flowers in a garden, spreading joy, kindness, and positivity to brighten everyday life.”

I am collecting smiles

when I awake from sleep.

I don’t just wake up —

I know the day will be long,

time will be hard,

but I choose a smile

so the day goes easier.

Yes, I am collecting smiles 😊.

Each second passes,

a minute comes,

then the hour…

time doesn’t stop 🛑,

not even for a while.

Sometimes I need a break,

I need to be with time,

to stand still for a moment,

to wear a smile —

yes, I’m collecting smiles.

People come and go;

they are not forever free

to stand with you.

You need to wake up

from your dreams 🛌.

Yes, I am collecting

a smile to wear.

Time is kind in its own way;

it promises to return tomorrow,

bringing not the same moments,

but new light,

new chances,

new hope.

Yes… I am collecting smiles.

Some are for joy,

some are for courage,

and some —

are to hide the quiet pain

I carry in my heart ❤️.

And maybe,

one day,

these smiles I’ve saved

will be enough

to heal the places

where my heart once hurt.
