The Elixirs of a Smile

It cost nothing but creates much
Enriching those who freely gives
With it Midas’s touch and power
It gladdens those who receives

Though it happens in a flash
Its memories always last long
Some could be done in total disguise
But its efficacies are never wrong

It creates happiness in the home
Fosters goodwill in a business
Forms a good banter on the phone
Frees any in the land of distress

It gives strength to the weak
Daylight to the broken hearted
Sunshine to them that are sad
And nature’s antidote for the departed

Cannot be bought or begged for
Cannot be borrowed or stolen away
For its of no earthly good to anyone
Until it is freely given away

And if you meet any in life’s way
That seems too tired to smile
Dropping yours with such a one
Would be really worth the while

For only those who have none to give
Really need to receive a simple smile
So if you want people to really like you
The basic rule is – give them a smile
