Thanks Timothy but this time I like the simple word, goes; it seems to go with the poem. That's the one thing I and many others got from the instruction book, On Writing Well. I really like this poem and the fact of using the Noun Smile and the Verb smiled. I did look through your list of words and none of them seemed to fit.

I appreaciate your read.

Thanks for reading and your suggestions.

Punctuation. Okay. I saw that on the forum link, but didn't relate it to the poem. LOL Yep, I'd say, I'm pretty happy.

Firstly - punctuation?

Nice little poem - you're a very happy person, I can tell. All your poems are filled with positivity :)

I would have written A smile, rather than The smile for the first line but that's just my own opinion.
