I am a simpleton,
I have nothing to give accept a smile,
A gift of joy.
The corners of my mouth turn up,
My cheeks lift and my smile reaches my eyes which twinkle,
Shows I am happy from the inside.
It makes me look younger,
Gives me confidence,
Shows I am friendly.
My smile closes the distance between me and the other,
It brings cheer and lightens the mood,
It reduces the stress.
My smile is contagious,
It spreads happiness,
It's healthy,
Boosts my immune system by relaxing me.
A smile costs so little,
Gives such a lot,
It is an act of charity,
Smile and the world will smile with you.
