Smiling is infectious
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today
I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner
And someone saw my grin,
When he smiled I realised
I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile
Then realised its worth,
A single SMILE just like mine
Could travel round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin
Don't leave it undetected,
Let's start an epidemic quick
And get the world infected.
~ Bill Cullen
How much a smile can mean. Those few simple words sum it up. You never know what other people are going through, what problems they face, whether they are lonely, afraid, depressed or worried.
That little gesture can make a day. A smile brings a ray of light, just like the sun a smile lights up your face and that, in turn, may light up another person's life.
So smile today, even if you do not feel like it. Give a smile to someone who might truly need it. If they do not smile back, do not worry they will see it anyway. If they do smile back, it will make you feel good as well.
I am sending my smile to you all today. Happy Saturday.
My thanks to my neighbour and friend Jackie, for giving me this poem.
I shall leave the aroma poll (previous entry) open for another couple of days for any who have not yet taken part.
