A Smile

It takes but a moment,but the memory
of it usually lasts forever.
None are so rich that can get along
without it,none are so poor but that
can made rich by it.
It enriches those who recieve,without
making poor those who give,it creates
sunshine in the soul.
Yet it cannot be begged,borrowed or
stolen,for it is of no value.unless
it is given with your heart.
Its the cure for sadness even madness
and recieved with gladness.
Its all around us,in a little child,
our elders,in me,in you everywhere
in the tenderness of a mother or the
love of a father.
So spare a smile to the one who fills
your heart,to your friends,spare a
smile to the world.
