Keep On Smiling

As you travel on life's way

With its many ups and downs,

Remember it's quite true to say

One smile is worth a dozen frowns.

Among the world's expensive things,

A smile is very cheap.

And when you give a smile away,

You get one back to keep.

Happiness comes at times to all,

But sadness comes unbidden,

And sometimes a few tears must fall

Among the laughter hidden.

So when friends have sadness on their face

And troubles round them piled,

The world will seem a better place

And all because you smiled.
