Costs nothing, but creates much
Enriches those who receive without impoverishing those who give
Happens in a flash and a memory of it sometimes lasts a lifetime
None are so rich that they can get along without it
And none are so poor, but richer for its benefits
Creates happiness in the home
Fosters goodwill in a business
And is the sign of friends
It is rest to the weary
Daylight to the discouraged
Sunshine to the sad
And is natures best antidote for trouble
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen;
For it is something that is of no earthly good to anyone, thought it is given away.
And in the hurry, hustle and bustle in today’s business world some of the people are too tired to give you a smile,
We ask that you leave one of yours
For nobody needs a smile more than those who have none left to give.
