The Importance Of Smiles


I forget occasionally how important it is to grin
How it spreads warmth and brings a glow to skin
And smiles are far easier on the face you know
As they spread outwards fun begins to then flow
Happiness chases the blues from out of your sky
And suddenly all your troubles far away will fly

When I feel down and the sky goes darkly drear
I try to find a smile to dry up those old grey tears
If you look hard enough you will always find one
It will be there waiting to bring out its cheery sun
And smiles don’t travel alone there will be more
So don’t think of shutting your hearts open door

Smiles are catching you know pass it to a friend
For others need to feel the warmth smiles send
In passing it on you’ll find you’ll have lots more
Smiles will keep on flooding through your door
The warmth that they give will wrap around you
And you will always have a smile to give away too

Marsha


  




Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
