LET US SMILE.
I 1 thing that goes the farthest toward making life worth while,
pat cost the least and does, the inOst, L j l|9 t a pleasant smile,
pe [ill smile that bubbles from a heart that lcves^ its fallow m§n
drive away the clouds and gloom. autfDoa'x the sun again;
is full of worth, and goodness, too, with'maifty kindness blent;
is worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t. cost a cent.
pore is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smilu;
always has the same good luck—it’s never out of style;
(nerves us on ter-try, again when failure makesAis blue;
lie dimples of encouragement are good furjne and you ;
f’ Pays a higher interest, for it is merely lent ;
s worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent.
smile comes very easy—you can wrinkle up with cheer
ihundred time before you can squeeze out a soggy tear;
I ripples out, moreover, to the heartstrings that will tug,
aid always haves an echo that is very like a hug.
Oi smile away; folks understand what by a smile is meant,
Is worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent.
