The secret of the Mona Lisa's smile?

Come closer and I'll whisper in your ear.

That is not her smile at all,

But a mere transition.

Her eyes are just about to shine!

Her teeth are just about to show!

Her loving heart is just about to break

In a beautiful way,

So that you can see.....

Her.

And this is what still captivates

Genius Leonardo's of today.

The little spark of possibility

That someone else might be alive,

Even as you are, and might

Want to see your teeth,

When you finally break into that giggle, too.
