Make Someones Day

reaching out to touch a heart 
is not very hard to do 
but the only way you can start
is by sharing what's inside of you

everyone needs a pick- me- up
it's not a handout per- say
cause it really does'nt cost that much
to brighten up someone's day

a kind word or gesture 
sometimes is all that's needed
for happiness can only be measured
by how someone is treated
 
so if you're trying to do something worthwhile
you dont' have to go out of your way
sometimes it just takes a smile 
to makes someone's day

You capture the essence of being human in the most complete way. This is what the world needs instead of the "me first" that seems to be prevalent. This one is great!
