Smile.
At yourself in the mirror.
Smile.
People will wonder what you’ve been up to.
Find your passion: when two hearts race, both win.
Because: daring to love completely can decorate your life.
Listen and laugh and sing.
Uncontrollably. To elevator music.
Someone will dare to love you completely.
Listen. To your heartbeat. And dance.
Laugh. Uncontrollably.
It clears the mind.
Naughty can be nice, so:
Send a love letter this week
And wink at someone driving past today.
And go to your special place.
And let me make a list of your dreams.
Because giving in is better.
Temptation is fun.
I would know.
So Smile.
Before work.
Before bed.
Before sleep.
You'll dream better.

Wait: Madden finally decides to drag herself into National Poetry Month on DAY TWENTY-FREAKING-ONE and receives immediate corporate sponsorship?
