A Smile

By Anonymous

Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
-----
I passed around the corner,
And someone saw my grin,
When he smiled I realized,
I'd passed it on to him.
-----
I thought about that smile,
Then realized its worth,
A single smile, just like mine,
Could travel round the earth.
-----
So, if you feel a smile begin,
Don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected.

Heartprints
By Anonymous
-----
Whatever our hands touch -
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture
On doorknobs, dishes, books.
There's no escape.
As we touch we leave our identity. 
-----
Wherever I go today
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
-----
Heartprints of kindness
And genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter
Or an anxious mother
Or perhaps an aged grandfather.
-----
Send me out today
To leave heartprints.
And if someone should say,
"I felt your touch,"
May they also sense the love
that is deep within my heart.
