For The Extra Mile Poetry Contest of Charles Messina

_______________________________________________________________________

If you should go out on the street and smile at each person you meet, don’t you think that would be so sweet? Touch all those with trials. Yes, those with trials we must touch. To go the extra mile and such doesn’t really take all that much. All day we might see smiles. Smiles can be contagious, you know, if just one heart you help to glow. Smiles on others he might bestow. Then smiles could reach for miles!

Smile is contageous ! If we help one heart glow, he will help others also to beam with a radiant glow. So rightly said Andrea. All the Best.

They do if you smile, it spreads except if someone is particularly sad. Very nice, my friend!
