You make me smile

Subject: All It Takes Is a SMILE!

ALL IT TAKES IS A SMILE!   All it takes is a smile to make someone's day, A nod of the head, a handshake To send them on their way All it takes is a smile and a little time to say I love you, To tell someone how much God loves them too, This is what Christianity is all about; Its self sacrifice and looking to the welfare Of others, putting someone else first All it takes is a smile; A simple smile will light up a whole room It will brighten even your darkest day It doesn't cost anything But it's worth more than silver or gold At the end of someone's way, It sparkles brighter than any jewel known to mankind Happiness is the smile on your face; And the gladdened heart of a new friend All it takes is a smile to bring intense joy, At least for a moment or two, Where sadness and pain have entered in It's a journey that will take you places You will want to be, So why not share what God has So freely given you and me? People may not remember your name, They may forget your face, But what will remain is the smile you gave When they needed it the most God loves a cheerful soul; Death lies not in the grave But in the broken spirit of His children It dries up the bones; All it took was a smile. A cheerful heart is good medicine   ~~Janice Bumbalough Marler © 2-05-08
