Sometimes its hard to smile
"When the dogs bite and the bees sting"
It can be hard to think of your "favorite things "
...Or why to smile
When you feel cold and lonely
Like no one cares and like no one worries
Why smile when no heads will turn?
Why shine light when no one will bask in it's warmth?
What's the point?
Smiling releases enorphins in the brain
Causing you to feel joy, warmth, contentment
An important thing to have in the dark,
When the cold wind blows and you are shivering
You'll have your little light
"Let it shine, let it shine,
let it shine..."
Stop-
Take a moment and think all the things to smile about
Even the little things count
Smile for the crazy cat videos on YouTube
Smile for the roof over your head and the shirt on your back
Smile for the running water that falls from your faucets
Smile for that one person-that one dear person-who gets you
Don't fake it; find things to smile about
Smile for the small things, grin big for the big things
Have you smiled today?
