A Happier Place.

Goldfinch60



Walking down the street you see them,

Those people with grim faces

Whose lives  seem to be full of troubles,

With thoughts of bad things in their lives.

But when I walk down the street

A smile is always within my eyes,

And when you smile at others

You can bring your happiness forward.

That happiness can be shared,

Shared with others in your life,

And they too may start smiling

Thus bring happiness to others,

And if we all end up smiling,

The world would be a happier place.

    Good write Gold.
    Some, if really horrible, may be so grumpy, that when we say 'hello', they reply aggressively 'What do you mean, hello - you looking for a fight?
    Or 'Good morning' - What's good about it?' Such people are not worth knowing though.

      Many people can be lifted with a smile though.

      Always amazes me the amount of people who walk around with a permanent grimace. Some look in pain.

      I'm sure the world is a happier place for having a few happy countenances around.
