The Value of a Smile

A Smile is nature's best antidote for discouragement.



It brings rest to the weary,



Sunshine to those who are frowning,



And hope to those who are hopeless and defeated.



A Smile is so valuable that it can't be bought,
Begged, borrowed, or taken away against your will.



You have to be willing to give a Smile away,
Before it can do anyone else any good.



So, if someone is too tired or grumpy to flash you a Smile,
Let him have one of yours anyway.



Nobody needs a Smile as much,
As the person who has none to give....



Smile your smile for today...
Pass it on to someone...
Who needs some sunshine on a cloudy day...



Remember,
No matter how bad it seems at the time,
It shall pass in a few moments,
And.....



A Smile is simply a frown upside down...



So, stand on your head and look in the mirror...



Once you see how silly you look... a frown turns into Smile...

Now, Not Later

I would like to share with you a beautiful poem I read which sums up the urgency of loving now.

One Little Rose

I would rather have one little rose
From the garden of a friend
Than to have the choicest flowers
When my stay on earth must end...

I would rather have one pleasant word
In kindness said to me
Than flattery when my heart is still
And life has ceased to be...

I would rather have a loving smile
From friends I know are true
Than tears shed' round my casket
When this world I've bid adieu...

Bring me all your flowers today
Whether pink, or white, or red
I'd rather have one blossom now
Than a truckload when I'm dead.
