The Smile You Give
While walking on to work this day
I dared to take a gander
At the many faces passing me,
Who, quickly on, meandered.
When, without notice, one looked back
And surely gave me a smile
Then, my tired feet relaxed
And felt could go a mile.
You see, that’s all we need to do,
It’s recognize each other
Give to them that which you want
The love of one another.
So take this truth today and hold it
Near and to your heart
Keep in mind the smile you give
Will give another a start.
