A Smile For You

Posted on 13th September 2007 by Susan in Quotes & Inspiration

Smile!

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 realized, I’d passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile, then I realized 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!
