Smile At A Stranger
By Jeff Weiner
The world is only cold if you let it be
Sharing the warmth of our heart
Reaching out to give a hug
Will make a day bright,
A smile goes deeper than we can see
While a frown cuts the surface,
One kind gesture
Improves life,
Evil words can tear a mind down
Where a caress can rebuild,
One slap can destroy a moment
That a hug can replace,
Before raising a hand or lashing a tongue
Think of the harm it may cause,
Calmer words will find an answer
And make you grateful for the pause,
Each day is beautiful from the start
If we choose to see it bloom,
Smiling at a stranger
Brings love to an empty room
