Humans, unhappy with themselves,

Find fault with each other.

Often forget or don’t take the time to smile, greet or treat,

Co-workers, neighbors, and the variety of people we meet

Often friends, as you would your own brother.

Help your fellow man when he or she is down,

Put a smile on your face …  be pleasant,

And wipe off that frown!

You will find your day brighter as you move along.

Some of the burdens have lifted,

Your step is lighter and in your heart a sweet song!

You lifted some ones spirit with one small touch.

A kind word, a hug, your smile, it doesn’t take much.

Some one may be longing for a lost love, missing a sister,

A brother missing in action, a dear departed father or mother,

Or the loss of an only child.

The kindness you gave just might lift the sorrow.

Give some one a happy and brighter outlook,

Along with Hope renewed for tomorrow!

The day will be less lonely with a real …  I care 4 U smile.

And the heart will be lighter, at least for a while!
