Smile At a Stranger

Smile At A Stranger by Jeff Weiner Smile At A Stranger By Jeff Weiner The world is only cold if you let it be Sharing the warmth of our heart Reaching out to give a hug Will make a day bright, A smile goes deeper than we can see While a frown cuts the surface, One kind gesture Improves life, Evil words can tear a mind down Where a caress can rebuild, One slap can destroy a moment That a hug can replace, Before raising a hand or lashing a tongue Think of the harm it may cause, Calmer words will find an answer And make you grateful for the pause, Each day is beautiful from the start If we choose to see it bloom, Smiling at a stranger Brings love to an empty room
