The Smile of a Child

It is something most of us take for granted But a lack makes children's lives disenchanted Though it cannot be completely prevented Proper surgery can make a life less lamented Unclasp those hands held so tightly in prayer Help a child live a life that is not so full of despair And give them a beautiful gift that is bereft of strife Because the smile of a child is the greatest gift of life. (in honor of the great work of http://smiletrain.org - stop praying and start doing!)
