SMILE.

SMILE. A smile is quite funny thing It wrinkles up your face, And when it's gone you never find It's secret hiding place. But far more wonderful it is To see what smiles can do; You smile at one, he smiles at you And so one smile makes two. He smiles at someone since you And then that one smiles back; And that one smiles until, in truth, You fail in keeping track. Now, since a smile can do great
 good,
 By cheering hearts of care, Lets smile and smile and not forget That smiles go everywhere.
