Smile! :)

A smile can say a silent hello,
When you feel to shy to say "hi".
A smile can say a silent goodbye,
When you feel your about to cry.

A smile can comfort,
A smile can cheer,
A smile can take away a tear.

A smile can brighten a persons day,
When troubles come, and the skies are grey.
A smile can show that you really care,
When you meet someone "in the depths of despair".

A smile can encourage,
A smile can delight,
A smile can shine in the darkest night.

A smile can make you laugh, in spite of yourself,
Why, smiling improves your general health!
If smiles were riches,
I'd share my wealth.

Smile! :)
