The Wonder Of A Smile

A smile can be healer

Better than a laugh

A smile can come easy

Only if you let 


Meeting a stranger with 

A greeting

A smile can surely help

If given happily


Heal the world

Smile today

Just one smile

Is all it takes.

  3. It may be my imagination but when I stopped for a fast food lunch (which I now regret), the woman in the window seemed taken aback that I smiled at her and told her thanks, have a good day! Its so easy!

  6. And this old world can sure use some smiles. I'm going to try to smile more at total strangers. Maybe it'll get passed along.
