There's Sunshine In A Smile

Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,
Laughter and pleasure, teardrops and rain.

All days can't be bright but it's certainly true,
There was never a cloud the sun didn't shine through.

And you'll find when you smile your day will be brighter
And all your burdens will seem so much lighter.

For each time you smile you will find it's true
Somebody, somewhere, will smile back at you.

And nothing on earth can make life more worthwhile
Than the sunshine and warmth of a beautiful smile!

A SMILE

It cost nothing, but creates much.
It enriches those who receive,
without impoverishing those who give.

It happens in a flash and the memory of it lasts forever.
None are so rich they can get along without it
and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.

It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business,
and is the countersign of friends.

It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad, and nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away!

If someone is to tired to give you a smile, leave one of yours.
For, nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none to give.

SMILING

Smiling is infectious,
you catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today
I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner,
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized,
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,
then I realized its worth.
A single smile just like mine,
could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,
don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quick,
and get the world infecteted!
