Smile

 Give yourself a present
  When you first arise:
Put a smile upon your face,
  A glint of humor in your eyes.

 Look right into the mirror
And practice several smiles,
For a good sense of humor
Will lighten all your miles.

Draw from your memory
Some tidbit of delight,
To bring the sun out brightly,
  Or sprinkle stars into your night.

     Share a note of laughter,
   A light and cheery jest,
     With someone who is troubled,
       Their chin upon their chest.

       Neither pill nor tonic
       Can lift up a friend,
        Like a heart felt laugh,
        And a smile shared now and then.
