SMILES

Smile a little, smile a little, As you go along. Not alone when life is pleasant, But when things go wrong.
Care delights to see you frowning, Loves to hear you sigh; Turn a smiling face upon her, Quick the dame will fly.
Smile a little, smile a little, All along the road; Every life must have its burden, Every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness With your grief to sup? As you drink fate’s bitter tonic, Smile across the cup.
Smile upon the troubled pilgrims Whom you pass and meet; Frowns are thorns and smiles are blossoms Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder, By a sullen face. Smile a little, smile a little, Brighten up the place. —Anonymous.
