Giving

I have a gift I give away
To many people, every day.
God gave it to me. He won't care
That I am taking time to share.
In fact, I'm sure it warms His heart,
Every time He sees me part
With one or two or even more,
As that is what they're really for.

There is an endless, fresh supply
Of gifts like this, just standing by!
They generate a feeling of
Camaraderie and love.
It is a smile! Of course, you knew,
Because you're giving out yours too.
For every one you give, you'll see,
You get one back and they're all free

Smiles....... Smiles are like sunshine in a dark and gloomy world. There's just no sight of darkness in Light.  Such a blessing to be associated with such Upliftingly Joyous people.  Trillium, thanks for sharing your smiles today.  -Bob
