A Genuine Smile

A genuine smile joyfully gives to a day Much more value than one really knows It's more than the gold light of the sun More soothing than the moons soft glow It reaches down deep within one's soul Making such inspired feelings to arise It makes a heart's flame leap forward From the dormant place where it did lie It causes a young heart to begin to pound And it brings about a shortness of breath It adds new meaning to life in one's mind Along with a glow that will always last It's a treasure chest full of beautiful jewels More valuable than a single pearl of great worth For a genuine smile is valued so much more Than any treasure which can be found in the earth.
