Smile Sayings:

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. - Author Unknown

It takes a lot of work from the face to let out a smile, but just think what good smiling can bring to the most important muscle of the body... the heart. Author Unknown

Smile Poems:

Smile by unknown
Nobody ever added up the value of a smile:
We know how much a dollar's worth; And how far is a mile;
We know the distance to the sun; The size and weight of earth;
But no one's ever told us yet, How much a smile's worth.

A Baby's Skies by unknown
Would you know the baby's skies?
Baby's skies are mother's eyes
Mother's eyes and smile together
Make the baby's pleasant weather.

Baby Girl Poem by unknown
I know there are girl angels
I see one every day.
She gives me a hug
and kisses my cheek
and then runs to play.
From her toothless smile
She's my little angel
Sweet as you please

A Dream of a Child by unknown
Sometimes while I sleep you may see me smile
Maybe quite often - maybe once in a while
Perhaps an angel just whispered to me
And said just how lucky a child can be

Your Smile by Kathleen Aho
Time speeds by us, yes, both night and day
but memories of your gentleness and of your smile will always stay.
You have shown me so many times
that you shall love me always and everwhile....
For every tear you wipe away
you replace it with a smile.

There is a certain something that you do.
I look up and there you are, wonderful you.
My day brightens and my breath catches with a start.
You are there always within my very heart
It all shows on your face, just a little smile...
and there again, I know you love me, everwhile.

Add some smiles to your albums soon. Better yet, add a few more smiles to the day of someone who needs one in 2004. Sharing the power of a happy smile is a great thing.
