A Smile

A smile costs nothing, but gives you much.

It enriches those who receive,

without making poorer those who give.

It takes but a moment, but the memory of it last forever.

None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it,

and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home,

fosters good will in business

and is the countersign of friendship.

It brings rest to the weary,

cheer to the discouraged,

sunshine to the sad

and is nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet, it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen,

for it it something of No Value until it is Given Away,

Some people are too tired to give you a smile.

Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much

as he who has no more to give!
