A Smile
What is it that costs nothing,
It’s free to give away,
But it is sure to brighten,
Someone else’s day.
It is so very easy,
Not difficult to do,
But when you choose to do so,
The sky seems much more blue.
It’s certainly worth taking,
A moment of your time,
To show it to all others,
I’m sure they’ll never mind.
You do not need to stop,
Or even to slow down,
You can even do it simply,
Whilst walking around town.
Just look at all the people,
Scurry to and fro,
And simply say I’ll do it,
Come on give it a go.
You give it out so freely,
Without another thought,
And you will see so quickly,
The joy that it has brought.
For of all the things that change,
Throughout the passing years,
There has never been a simpler way,
To say to all; Hi there.
So as you head along your life,
No matter where you turn,
Just show this simple gesture,
You’ll get one in return.
It can cross all barriers,
Is suitable for all ages,
Because this action really is,
Something, quite contagious.
So what is this simple thing,
That makes things so worthwhile,
I’m sure you would have guessed by now,
It’s just a simple smile.
