Just Whip Out Your Smile

It's easy to smile, just try it and see
   It brightens the day for you and for me
If on your face appears an ugly frown 
   Just whip out your smile
     ~ Now that frown's upside down

I used to smile a lot wider than I used to. I lost a bridge which makes it different than it ever was. I used to love to smile full out!

Sounds like you need stimulus money to get that bridge restored! Smile (mouth closed, please)! :)

Good advice Gershon, I wake with a smile and go to bed with one. Tom. No, smile is NOT a girl. Lol.
