Below the nose
Above the chin
Following that witty comment, a joke, or a warm gesture
Among cheerful children and adults
Across the mouths of fakers and liars oftentimes
Off to one side, you know that crooked grin
With teeth or without
Between you and me
Through tough times
Until death, forever and always, the everlasting smile
