For Lack of a Smile
For Lack of a Smile
For lack of a smile a trust was lost
For lack of a trust a soldier was lost
For lack of a soldier a general was lost
For lack of a general a battle was lost
All for the lack of a smile.
A smile costs little but does wonders.
What does your reluctance to smile cost?
Pastiche of “For want of a nail the shoes is lost”
