A smile is a little thing

          To the happy giver,

          Yet can leave a blessed calm,

          On our life’s rough river.




                                                    Gentle words are never lost,

                                                    However, small they’re seeming;

                                                    Sunny rays of love are they,

                                                    O’er our pathway gleaming.


                                                                            By Anonymous
