A smile lends beauty to the face,
A sparkle to the eye,
That age and time cannot erase
As the years slip by.
Smiles of friendliness and love
Are always a delight.
And have the capability
Of making spirits light.
A smile can chase the blues away,
And also dry a tear
When soothing words are hard to
say
To someone we hold dear.
God wants us to be happy,
And when we wear a smile,
It makes life far more pleasant,
And also more worthwhile.
