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.
