Smile And The World Smiles Back!


I wore the biggest smile today,
Had the biggest ever grin,
Tis the very best tonic,
Helps us to always win!
I sauntered down the roads,
In me leccy chair,
Grinning like a cheshire cat,
And I didn't even care!

I'm trading it in next week,
(Well, not really but you see),
I've got a brand new car,
And its a-wizzing all over I'll be!
I smiled my life away today,
And the world and his wife grinned too,
They must have thought I'd lost my mind,
Cos they didn't have a clue!

They didn't know where I'd just been,
Didn't know I'd been sitting in my car,
But wow, do I feel great today,
Coz I'm going to be driving wide and far!
Isn't life just grand,
And I'm a lucky so-and-so,
Coz now I'm independent,
There isn't anywhere I can't go!

So I'll forever be smiling,
Well, I do that every day,
In the face of sadness and grief,
I still smile the day away.
There's no point being sad,
And no point feeling blue,
Coz after all, when said and done,
There's nothing we can do!

We can't change what we can't control,
So what's the point in feeling down?
I'd rather wear a great big smile,
Than walk around with a miserable frown!
So, smile, tis truly contagious,
And it gets you through the day,
Keeps you on the up and up,
And chases the blues away.

Smile and the world smiles back!
Don't take my word for that,
Life's too short so wear that smile!
Just like this poet, called Cat!

You know, life is only as great as we allow it to be!

So allow it!
