Smile Today

Spending my time

Unlike my money.

I look for the joy

That each day can bring.

 

We need not have a frown

Or hang our head to the ground.

There is some joy to be had,

We just have to supply it.

 

Sure that sounds so easy,

But a smile costs nothing.

And if you smile at a person

That walks bye, he might smile back.

 

At least he will feel good

That some one is happy.

This will brighten his day,

And those around him.

That brought a smile to my face. Just don't leer. It's the kind of smile that will drive anyone away.

I appreciate the philosophy that you share through your verses in this poem, George. I try to smile at everyone I meet even if some think I'm weird. ☻ Love and peace,

turn that frown,
upside down.
smile through life,
and the joys to be found.
