Smile
There is no warning signs
But on your face it is easy to find
We all become contagious to this disease
Believe me it grows like a seed to a plant to trees
It makes life so easy and simple
It is caught between a frown and dimples
It is starting to sweep across the country
It makes the world more friendly
People who were once sad and blue
Lost in life with strife with nothing to do
With a heavy bag of misery on your shoulders
Inside your soul and spirit it makes you feel younger
I pray that you will be infected
Come on try it anybody can do it
I really hope a cheerful germ invades your body
I seen it make grieving people happy
It’s spreading merriment to all your major organs
Remember because it gives life so much meaning
It can grow a couple of feet or even a mile
Come on try it let me see you smile
