SMILE !
Claude Peter Dhuet

A smile is such a simple thing,
I sometimes wonder why,
People often smile at me,
But usually pass me by.

Perhaps if I smiled back at them,
And say "how have you been,
Its very nice to see you,
Its good to greet a friend".

A smile is such a simple thing,
Perhaps if I also smiled,
Then people surely never would,
Just smile and pass me by.

Note: There are many lonely people looking for a friendly smile and a cheerful word or two. Why not make National Friendly Year every year of your life.
