Smile

It's quite easy to give a smile
When life flows along like a song,
Though it becomes more difficult
As everything seems to go wrong.

The one thing that goes the furthest
Towards making our lives more worthwhile,
Which costs the least but does the most,
Is the sight of a friendly smile.

It's full of love and goodness, too
With human kindness mostly meant.
It's worth more than a golden coin
But it doesn't cost a cent.

A person worthwhile is the one
Who will never put you on trial.
No bitter poison mixed with fear,
As they simply give you their smile.
