A Smile Makes all the Difference

Smiles, smiles, all smiles...on the faces of my entire family but...
I am reminded that, I am so poor these days, poorer than all, the
most poorest. For I am devoid of the most valuable gift, the Smile.
It's such a beautiful thing, isn't it? You smile
and the world smiles with you. A smile makes complicated things simple.
It makes beautiful things seem more beautiful. Smile. Yes,
that's the magical word, that's the feeling I'm talking about.
We think we become poor only when we lose all the money in the world
but, I realize today, it's not true at all.
We grow poorer when we lose our smiles, we grow poorer when we lose
our laughter. Our smiles are the sign of our well-being and our laughter indicates when we are in perfect harmony with our innerself and the
outside world.
No matter what we have, no matter what we lose, no matter what the
world gives us or no matter what we can give to this world, we can all
give each other a warm smile, a true gesture of kindness and humbleness.
Please remember, it costs nothing to give a smile and giving away smiles will
surround you in a world of smiling faces instead of a strange world of strangers.
