Offering a smile

Makes the heart happy

It enriches the one who receives it.

Without impoverishing the one who gives it

It only lasts an instant

But its memory lingers for long.

 

No one is rich enough

To do without it

Nor too poor to be unable to give it.

A smile creates joy in the home,

It supports us at work

And it is a tangible sign of friendship.

 

A smile soothes the weary,

Revives courage in trials,

And in sadness, it is a remedy.

 

And if you meet someone who doesn’t offer it to you,

Be generous and offer them yours.

No one needs a smile more

Than the one who doesn’t know how to give it.

The value of a smile
