A Smile

A smile costs nothing, but gives much.
In enriches those who receive it, without making poorer those who give.
It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it,
And none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business,
and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,
and it is nature’s best antidote to trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is of no value
to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them yours, as none needs a smile so much
As he who has no more to give.
