A Smile

A smile costs nothing, but gives much.

It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give.

It takes a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts 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 it is nature’s best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone, 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.

    Absolutely. I have one of my favorites on smile too-
    Smile awhile,
    When you smile,
    Another smiles,
    And soon there are miles and miles of smiles,
    And life is worth living,
    If you smile.

    I read this to my Pre-AP English class and I believe it made them think. I caused my teacher to rant about the little actions that can make or break someone. She took about, ten minutes to respond to this, and it made my week to see how I could be an influence in my class…

    It is a nice story, illustrating a simple thing that we have failed to demonstrate which when done bringing satisfaction and joy and a feeling of acceptance to a family member, a friend and a stranger as well. It is my prayer that we all try to practice giving a smile.
