Faces, familiar and strange Imitate a smile Smile at everyone, it does wonders Smile as you greet strangers It will brighten up their day, and yours Smile widely at a sullen face, and watch it Magically transform into a smile, too If it doesn't, never lose yours A smile is a wondrous thing; try it more often You'll see that you feel better about yourself Smile and take the wind out the sails Of someone making your life a chore Flash those pearly whites And people will likely do the same Not to mention, they will treat you As though you're a friend, or a neighbor A smile puts one in a better frame of mind It's a wondrous thing, indeed Date written and posted: 01/03/2019
