What does a smile cost?
And yet so many are seen
Everywhere not responding to a smile
So graciously offered by individuals
Who joyously spread good will.
A smile generates concord
It is a sign of acknowledgment
Of fellow humans, responding
To a smile gives a warm feeling, which propagates cheer!
So many around us intentionally
Ignore the smile intended
For them, aren’t we the human race?
What difference does it make
If the person who smiles, is black or white?
We are a melting pot of cultures
No one is superior or inferior
A smile is intended as a token
Of warmth and fellowship
Why is it so difficult to respond?
Remember no one deserves
A smile more than those individuals
Whose lives are so devoid of joy
They need the comforting smile
More than anyone else
SO SMILE!
