THE VALUE OF A SMILE!
It cost nothing, but saves much.
It enriches those who receive it,
Without impoverishing those who give.
It happens in a flash, and the memory of it last forever.
None is so rich that he can get along without it:
None so poor that he is not enriched by it.
It creates happiness in the home,
Fosters good will in business, and
It is the countersign of friends.
It is rest to the weary,
Daylight to the discouraged,
Sunshine to the sick,
And Natures's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, borrowed, or stolen,
For it is something that is of no earthly good to anyone,
Until it is given away.
If you meet folks who are too burdened with grief or worry to smile,
Just give them one of yours.
For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none to give.
