"Because You Smiled!"

If at times you feel you want to cry,
And life seems such a trial;
Above the clouds there's a bright blue sky,
So make your tears a smile.

As you travel on life's way,
With its many ups and downs;
Remember it's quite true to say,
One smile is worth a dozen frowns.

Among the world's expensive things,
A smile is very cheap;
And when you give a smile away,
You get one back to keep.

Happiness comes at times to all,
But sadness comes unbidden;
And sometimes a few tears must fall,
Among the laughter hidden.

So when friends have sadness on their face,
And troubles round them piled;
The world will seem a better place,
And all because you smiled!
