The Blessing Nobody Borrows

The Blessing Nobody Borrows

It didn’t cost me a penny,
I possessed it when I was born,
One has to rely on it broadly,
For numerous, it becomes timeworn!
It should be alloted often,
It regularly gets better with practice,
With management it is certain,
It brings elation and becomes boundless!
It doesn’t cost a thing to share,
Everyone enjoys accepting one,
It ne’er gets broken or needs repair,
Quite ofttimes is an invountary action!
It is used to be gracious,
It is a declaration of friendliness, 
It’s usage continues to be ageless,
When shared, it is ceaseless!
It asserts feelings tenderness,
It displays some speculation delight,
It is a contemplation of happiness,
When given it brings a flicker of sunlight!
It consistently delivers a gleam,
Never will it fail to radiate,
Constantly it will share a beam,
It’s stimilus will continually motivate!
Never confuse it with a chuckle or a giggle,
This everpresent attribute is worthwhile,
It was never meant to baffle,
It is just part of me, it’s my smile!!!
