A Smile Begets A Smile
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

A smile begets a smile,
But when the eyes are lit,
~A warm, loving energy,
One’s soul does transmit.

A smile keeps on giving,
~It’s a gift that gets returned.
Smiles spreading ‘round the world,
Is good karma earned.

So, let’s see those pearly whites,
Flashing from your face.
And send your love to every one,
No matter creed, or race.

A smile begets a smile,
But when the eyes are lit,
~A warm, loving energy,
One’s soul does transmit.

Yes, indeedy! Smile and the world smiles with you! ~ and by the responses that my poem of smiles  has been receiving, it  shows that the saying is true!

(does happy dance) Yay! Oh Linda, this is sooooooooo endorphin-glazed, dearest friend, smiling truly is the most wonderful medicine of all, and the best part is that it's contagious and can bring giddiness to your heart in an instant, yay! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, the sun may not be out today to get Vitamin D, but it doesn't mean I can skip, smile and sing in the puddles, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
