A Smile

A smile really can make the difference in somebody's day,
You never know what they may be feeling or know what to say.

Our world today presents many challenges and days filled with strife,
It has been said a smile can lower your blood pressure which could possibly save a life.

It is such a simple thing and takes little exertion,
The long term effects could possibly even change a person.

The next time you meet a gruff faced stranger,
Smile and hopefully it will lessen their anger.

Remember before you are to quick to judge,
Your smile just may be that much needed nudge.
