The Meaning of a Smile

SMILE
A smile can brighten a cloudy day
It is often times contagious 
A smile can lighten a load
It can change a troubled soul

A smile is the easiest tool in our arsenal 
It is the most effective tool we are given
A smile can make a grown man feel weak
It can make the meanest person soft

Find a smile and you will find joy
Share a smile and you will give joy
Keep a smile and keep friends
A smile can brighten a cloudy day.

I always say what your verse says, 'Even if you don't have a penny to give, give a genuine smile and you would have given more". Enjoyed this also, Josh. ...Audrey
