A New Year's Resolution - Smile!

My New Year's resolution this year - To stretch my smile every day!

A New Year's Resolution - Smile!

This year I'm going to get in shape,
I'll start from the inside;
As soon as I get out of bed,
Instead of touching toes to head,
I'll touch my funny bone instead,
And exercise my smile!

The gym is open all day long;
No membership required;
No need to pay your annual dues,
No need for special socks or shoes,
Just eyes that notice who could use
A great uplifting smile!

The work-out is an easy one,
It's very undemanding,
Results will be immediate,
My heart will soon be much more fit,
And it won't hurt one little bit,
To exercise my smile!
  Edie Batstone
