People often say that 'a smile is worth ten bottles of tonic.' What do you think about this? Is every smile a sign of joy, or are tears also a form of pain? Sometimes, a smile is a way to conceal loneliness, to hide the tears, it's even sadder than tears many times over. Below are the finest poems about smiles.

1. The Smile – Viet Duong Nhan
A smile that costs nothing to buy
In a bitter world, must be coaxed to shine
Beautifying the heart's design
Even in dreams, it brings peace divine.
The Sublime Smile, Harmonious and Blissful,
Like a thousand flowers blooming amidst spring days,
A smile is the rosy sunlight,
Insignificant, whether ugly or beautiful, they're all equal.
Don't regard the lowly lower, the lofty higher,
A smile equally grants warmth to all.
2. Your Smile – Huynh Minh Nhat

You've remained the same since our first encounter,
Your smile still radiant like the morning sun,
Your gaze still stirring the hearts of many,
But faded now... the shadow of you that day.
Sitting close to you, I often find myself smiling,
You shy away, perhaps not knowing why,
You don't see me in your dreams,
Yet why does your smile leave a faint mark?
From the depths, that tasteless smile,
Silent tears running into the heart,
Worries shelved temporarily into the night,
Troubles waiting eagerly in turn.
But the thoughts, I wish to embrace them all,
The fading night, I'm willing to cherish,
I don't want you to worry,
That past, just once, just one time!
3. Your Smile – Phuong Vuong
Seeing you smile in the photo,
You hide your sadness, nobody knows,
The sorrow you bury deep within,
Thoughts kept secret, the grief you carry.
Returning home, carrying heavy pain,
Letting the wind carry the fading ache,
Allowing yourself to cry out loud,
Dissolving dreams, eyes blurred with tears.
Life's habit is like rain and wind,
Illusory flowers, eyes stinging with tears,
Letting you taste wine to numb,
Life's tasteless, oh the bitterness of existence.
Still, sadness remains the same,
Wiping away tears, let lips curve into a smile,
In life, there are many people yet,
Bringing joy, gifting smiles to you.
Tonight, the moon becomes full round,
Your life's happy, love still abound,
Bringing you so much joy profound,
A smile of bliss, abundant, my dear.
4. A Smile

A smile remembered for a century,
To love, to hate one person, just this story,
A past time, distant memory,
Countless moon and wind words echo in one's mind.
In the warmth of love and sunshine's sway,
Whispered tenderly, memorable in every way,
Flowers and butterflies everywhere play,
Green leaves of youth, once in love's sway.
The most genuine smile of a thousand autumns,
Listening to the breath as if naive and simple,
My love, always innocent and pure,
Afraid you'd turn away, yet I still follow.
The vast sky, the wide sea, sail away,
Alone in the dreamy boat, sailing through waves,
Spring and autumn blur, what remains?
Except longing, longing for you.
5. Mother's Smile - Tran Bao Dong
After so many days of separation, you've returned,
Still with that smile, the beloved figure of mother,
The small thatched house in the morning, noon, and evening sun,
Through hardships, mother raises her child to grow.
Father gone, leaving mother in deep pain,
Yet she smiles, tears hidden in her heart,
Tenderly lulling her child to peaceful sleep,
I forever cherish my childhood days with mother.
Despite storms and countless forks in the road,
Mother's love steadfastly follows her child,
Days gone by now faded,
Hair turned gray, shoulders burdened.
Chuckling beside the betel tray, mother advises,
'The cold wind returns, remember to put on more clothes'...
6. Smile – Nguyen Ngoc Nong

Yesterday stumbled upon a smile,
Brought it home, a hidden treasure for life... so lovely
Ah! Who dropped this precious gem?
I was captivated, silently picking it up by the wayside
Thinking they were seeds of affection,
I brought them home, weaving threads of longing in my heart.
The heart also knows it's a treasure trove,
Its compartments continuously throb and pulsate...
Suddenly, this evening, I met her,
The girl with yesterday's smile
Forlornly, she dropped it in front of the house,
The smile whisked away... carried off by the wind
Tenderly hidden, for what purpose?
What is she lacking... still pondering
In my youth, I was naive,
Now, the hidden smile resurfaces, sorrow rising.
7. For a Smile – Mac Phuong Dinh
Thank you for yesterday evening
Sending a smile through the half-closed door
A bird chirping, carrying a wandering song
I bid you farewell, borrowing the way back.
The faint sunlight of the afternoon not warm enough
Steps through days filled with sadness
Smoke from a distant alley lingering
Is there anything left to send, longing to send affection.
Wandering along the misty breeze,
Hair once green, now adorned with silver strands,
Just caught a stray smile from afar,
Enough to enchant the soul, oh dear.
Thirty years nurturing love, illuminating dreams,
Yet left desolate with each step,
Who truly understands the tiny heart,
Devoted to you, even if belated.
Life remains beautiful amidst the torrential rapids,
We carry along the comforting smile,
Sweet, compassionate corners of the lips,
Waves of love echoing cheerful melodies.
8. The Unhappy Smile – Tung Tran
Some things seem simple,
Yet cannot be bought with all the riches,
Yet some, abundant for the poor,
Only regretting life's unevenness.
So each person has a silent sky,
In this life, not all are destined to end well,
The empty-handed hope for riches,
The affluent know forever is not theirs.
So sometimes tears flow from the eyes,
Not necessarily from desolation,
For boundless joy and happiness
Can suddenly rush in like waves.
Tears fall not always from sorrow,
Laughter may not always be a port of joy,
Tears may fall for a happy life,
A smiling mouth may hide pain.
9. Her Smile - Dương Hoàng

Her smile brings such depth,
Suddenly, spring softly spreads,
Even in cold winter touching lightly,
Feeling life erase all loneliness.
Her smile carries a vibrant beauty,
A happiness wishing to endure,
Always radiant for love just budding,
With life in each morning dawn.
Her smile makes all days fade,
Driving away weariness on long dreamy nights,
Granting us belief in the love of life,
Passing through the wandering evening breeze.
Her smile, melodious like a harp's tune,
Leads us away from melancholic reminiscence,
Dispelling all past love's regrets,
Together we head to the shores of affection.
10. Borrowing Your Smile - Trầm Vân
Let me borrow your smile,
To thaw the coldness in my heart with the spring buds,
Summoning the gentle breeze back,
Dispersing the worries of wandering feet.
Her smile brings spring along,
Hastening the joyous chirping of birds,
Stirring excitement in my heart,
Returning to the sweet age of green hair.
Her smile carries shimmering sunlight,
Cheeks blushing beneath a tilted hat,
Where does that charming smile hide,
For butterflies to flutter softly along.
My heart echoes a thousand whispers of brooks,
Your smile blooms amidst the clear stream's flow,
Pine hills and naive grasses,
The winding path awaits the shadow of someone.
Spring gently drapes over the shoulders,
Cherry blossoms add a few more clusters of petals,
Smiling face covering the roof of shared love,
Rowing through the drifting waves of affection.
Sweetness of love fills the coffee cup,
Your smile adds a bit more sweetness,
Don't walk away into the cold distance,
My poetic soul will endure a lifetime of winter.
11. Spring Smile – Xuân Diệu
Amidst the desolate garden, cheerful birds sing,
A maiden gazes at the dazzling sun-kissed dew,
How tranquil the early spring days are!
Pink petals weave into radiant smiles.
Light embraces the towering peaks,
Golden trees quiver under the sun's caress,
Fragrant breeze drifts carelessly,
Bringing apricot branches to gently touch cherry blossoms.
Willow locks cascade in charming grace,
Beside fresh flowers blooming with a soft call,
What gentle affection fills the air,
Like wafting scents of love's embrace.
On the maiden's first encounter, she hears
Silent music sings enchantingly,
Spring blushes on her cheeks,
Puzzling hearts with heaviness...
The maiden hesitantly awaits someone
Never before met amidst the fresh spring,
With that distant young man,
She charms, standing with a gentle smile.
12. Tears and Smiles – Cội Thông Già
If when sad, we shed tears,
Tears wash away the pain,
Then life would not be so arduous,
Farewells wouldn't bring sorrow.
If tears garner your pity,
Turn back, console with a few words,
So love doesn't veer astray,
Then why not let a smile bloom?
At times life's path is bustling,
Yet I, in solitude, wander,
A sudden chilly smile,
Secretly longing for many tears.
When life feels at an impasse,
Night's shadow encircles the soul,
Remind yourself, don't shed tears,
Smile to stride more steadfastly.
13. Fond Smile - Đinh Hùng

Has autumn arrived, have you met autumn?
The Truong Giang's cold waters, distant shores?
Faint sad flower shadows on old paths,
Deep with dreams, your past footsteps.
I've been seeking autumn these past few days,
Just started feeling melancholy, recalling these memories.
Amidst restlessness, the heart whispers,
All to you it says: Love so much in exchange!
From the green hillside, endlessly green,
Returning to the fragrant homeland, filled with melancholy.
Intoxicating fragrance, soul of flowers and grass,
Forever longing for you, distant for so long.
Yearning memories of you, the forest has turned gold,
The evening silhouette urges the white gate.
Feeling compassion for beauty, autumn's misty haze,
Fluttering across the sea, fortress smoke.
The melancholic water also reflects your blue eyes,
The lake mournfully reflects its myriad citadels?
You, from afar, autumn sends back
A smile of longing, a clear embroidered feature.
14. The Smile of Sunshine
Your smile is like the sun,
Bright and radiant as a young morning.
The sun paints the flying golden leaves,
The green trees call out, rejoicing with the wind.
Your smile is like a singing stream,
Cooling the souls of all and the earth.
The stream continues its lullaby, soothing the trees,
Soothing the souls, returning them to tomorrow's dawn.
Your smile is like the wind or the clouds,
Wherever they go, towards the horizon.
The river follows, following the wind and clouds,
The river sings, echoing the words of wind and clouds.
Your smile... the smile of the sun,
The sun endlessly paints the human world,
The sun continues to sing, singing the songs of rivers and streams,
The sun continues to chant, chanting with the lazy wind and clouds.
Your smile... the smile of the sun,
Your smile... the sun's song.
15. The Smile of Spring - Xuân Diệu
Amidst the silent garden, joyful birds sing,
The maiden gazes at the sun's radiant face,
How peaceful the early spring days are!
Rose petals form bright smiles.
Light envelops the towering peaks,
Golden trees sway in the sun, leaves rustling,
Fragrant breeze drifts aimlessly,
Brushes against plum branches and cherry blossoms.
Willow hair cascades in a charming green,
Amidst newly bloomed flowers, vibrant hues call out,
What tender sentiment fills the air,
Like a fleeting scent of cherished love.
Now for the first time the maiden hears,
Silent music sings of intoxicating passion,
Spring blushes on her cheeks,
Causing hearts to feel burdened.
The maiden waits in melancholy,
Never having arranged a meeting—amidst vibrant spring,
With that distant young man,
The maiden's presence, smiling.
16. The Smiles – Trọng Văn

There are smiles, restless yet profound,
Yet when seen, unforgettable they abound,
As if hearts convene through the gaze,
All around, everything gleams and plays!
Cheeks dimpled, those enchanting smiles,
Graceful on faces, gentle and mild,
Like flowers blossoming in vibrant spring,
Bees and butterflies bewitched, heavenly beings.
Some deceitful damsels, smiles bestowed with deceit,
Playboys reveling, their frivolity replete,
Splurging silver and gold through lavish gates,
When wealth depletes, they part ways, with heavy weights!
A smirk, a smirk, all too common to see,
From the belle, loved by many, you see,
Presuming herself a queen of grace,
Some await, lining up for her embrace.
Lips curved, a smile with a hint of jest,
Enjoyable but kept to herself, she jests,
Don't try to fathom what she might think,
Women are mysterious, don't blink!
Breaking tension, laughter spreads wide,
Briefly appearing cheerful, like a flower's pride,
True nature lies in effort concealed,
Feigned, pushed, to let matters be revealed!
A glance, a lip curl, a smile so kind,
The more charming, stunning, too refined,
Men, young lads, all captivated,
It's a formidable weapon, rightly celebrated.
17. Yet There Is a Smile – Exhausted Spring
I, too, am melancholy like thee,
Half a life adrift, what joy doth I see?
The other half lingers like morning dew,
Awaiting the sun, melancholic and true.
Gone are the days of youthful yearning,
Dreams scattered by winds without discerning,
Threads of old love, worn and frayed,
The more stitched, the thicker the pain displayed.
Yet upon my lips, a smile resides,
Though faded, still joy it provides,
And in these small verses, fragrant with sunlight,
Gathered together, a duet of life's twilight.
Sending to you to soothe the sorrow,
When the rain hurriedly wets the dusk,
Softly resonate during ponderous moments,
Or read aloud when dreams are wild.
18. The Smile – Han Mac Tu
The moon rises, still waters, bamboo sways,
Shadows fall quietly on the flowered grass,
The final rustle as the grass is combed,
A chorus blending from within and beyond.
The song fades — Branches and leaves tremble,
A group of girls looking beautifully simple,
Trousers rolled up to their knees,
Skin, oh heavens! so chillingly fair.
The naive girl gazes into the lake,
Her reflection vividly mirroring her form,
The smile beneath and above,
Unplanned, blossoming together carefree.
19. The Smile of Happiness – Mac Phuong
Perhaps you're thinking of me,
Yet deceiving the heart refuses to acknowledge,
Fate brought us together but not as lovers,
Pretending to be good friends is all we have.
Because of you…we remain apart,
Distance causing the heart to bleed sorrow,
The pained heart finds no refuge,
Tears flow endlessly along the path of time.
We know well...that path is arduous,
Lost seasons of affection like withered gold and faded betel,
You don't need the promises I made,
What you need is my genuine sincerity, dear.
Nor do you need the sweetness at the tip of lips,
Material possessions are of no importance,
My heart surges with a thousand waves,
Seeking happiness for our lives to be close together.
Hold my hand…never to part,
So the smile on our lips remains forever bright.
20. Keeping the Smile Forever

Life among people is full of pain and sorrow,
Hence, we need empathy and understanding for each other,
A smile always graces our faces,
Sharing human kindness both now and later.
The suffering of the world is immeasurable,
Let's live with love and compassion,
A free smile is needed to be,
Spreading joy to all directions.
Don't be too cold without a hint of joy,
Cheer up and step forward without retreat,
Let go of things that don't go as planned,
Why hold onto suffering to taste bitter?
Release all worldly worries and be bright,
When we meet, communicate with humanity,
Genuine laughter adds to the intimacy,
Let's keep a smile for each other forever.
21. The groom's smile
In the breeze whispering gently,
Warm whispers soothingly calm,
Seeking back a bond of a hundred years,
Poetry rhymes only with deep excitement.
Gracefully adorned in golden silk,
Back adorned with jade, lips painted pink,
You return, promising blossoming flowers,
Stirring up to the eight heavens, spring overflowed.
Mysterious hair mingled with Ngoc Lan's wings,
Fragrance intoxicating, divine and male,
You return for a peaceful dream,
For greenery, clouds, water, for me to await.
The flower boat docks at the dream of fate,
The betel tray marks the union of our souls,
Tomorrow's wedding will be truly lovely,
The groom's smile full of affection... gifts to you.
Sending to your beloved smile,
Dreams of two hearts in a moment of empathy.
22. Sending a smile
You are already a person of the earthly realm,
Dreams are as simple as the earth,
Sow joy sprouts in the midst of pain,
A tree of sorrow blooms a smile.
I wander seeking realms beneath the sky,
Yet find only fields of wilted blooms,
Lost in life's song, half of me remains,
Hoarding moments for the swan's divine embrace.
At the edge of night, stars linger on,
Flickering farewell in their azure glow,
Beneath earthly realms, your fervent heart I send,
To weave a smile in my realm of dreams.
23. Smile and Heart - Nguyên Hữu
When heart and smile part ways,
Heartache meets the gaze of a distant smile,
Aching heart beholds the smile,
Lips' fleeting waves falter in silence...
The wanderer pines for the homeland,
Nights embrace sorrow, silent and forlorn,
Planting a smile, yet waiting in silence,
Near or far, oh tomorrow...
The sky is blue, clouds drift by,
There lies my homeland,
I see it, I see it clearly,
My heart aches, homeland dear...
A smile still blooms upon the lips,
A hesitant, apologetic smile,
Seeking threads of connection,
A smile - a heart: Homeland...
Above are the finest poems about smiles. A smile sometimes isn't just joy; it's also the tears held back, the helplessness of being unable to cry. We hope you'll appreciate these poems.
