Let Us Smile
The thing that goes the farthest towards making life
worth while.
That costs the least and does the most, is just a
pleasant smile.
The smile that bubbles from a heart that loves its
fellowmen
Will drive away the cloud of gloom and coax the
sun again,
It’s full of worth and goodness, too, with manly
kindness blent
—
It’s worth a million dollars, and doesn't cost a
cent.
There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery
smile;
It always has the same good look—it’s never out
of style
—
It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us
blue;
The dimples of encouragement are good for me
and you.
It pays a higher interest for it is merely lent
—
It’s worth a million dollars, and doesn’t cost a
cent.
A smile comes very easy—you can wrinkle up with
cheer
A hundred times before you can squeeze out a soggy
tear.
It ripples out, moreover, to the heart-strings that
will tug,
And always leaves an echo that is very like a hug
So, smile away. Folks understand what by a smile
is meant.
It’s worth a million dollars, and doesn’t cost a cent.
