Your prettily displayed poem is in good syllable count and line count for the naani
I like the way you repeat change and attitudes to emphasize your point and to elaborate on your point
good assonance in smile/time
and I very much like your insightful observation, which is definitely about the human condition :-) Brooke

Comment from rama devi
Good naani with an inspired message applicable to one and all. Nice presentation..sunny! Good didactic tone, as befitting this form. Fine logical glow with each key word leading to the next line. The flow is not so fluid, but it works well with the 'developing the thesis' style of your voicing. However, I do feel that either using minimal punctuation or caps would improve the ease of read (optional suggestion):
Smiles change attitudes
positive attitudes achieve goals
Change the world today
one smile at a time
or
Smiles change attitudes,
positive attitudes achieve goals.
Change the world today
one smile at a time.
Good luck in the contest!
Warmly, rd

A very good message, mystery poet. It all starts with a smile. It would be great if someone came up with a drug (no side effects) that made people smile. Then again, maybe that would be a bad thing. Anyway, enjoyed.

Great Naani and your words are spot on. I saw the cute little smiley guy and of course I smiled.
Now my attitude has changed, and tomorrow when the boss at work gives me THE LOOK. I will rise above it all and smile.
All because of your Naani. Lol.

Wonderful art work and words written.
A smile is a gift when someone smiles at us
or when we are happy and caring and sharing
with those we meet is very special.
