Smile
She smiled at a
sorrowful stranger.
The smile seemed to make him feel better.
He remembered past
kindness of a friend
And wrote him a thank you letter.
The friend was
so pleased with the thank you
That he left a large tip after lunch.
The waitress, surprised
by the size of the tip
Bet the whole thing on a hunch.
The next day she
picked up her winnings,
And gave part to a man on the street.
The man on the
street was grateful;
For two days he'd had nothing to eat.
After he finished
his dinner, He left for his small dingy room.
didn't know at that moment that he might be facing his doom.
On the way he picked
up a shivering puppy
And took him home to get warm.
The puppy was very
grateful
To be in out of the storm.
That night the
house caught on fire.
The puppy barked the alarm.
He barked till
he woke the whole household
And saved everybody from harm.
One of the boys
that he rescued
Grew up to be President.
All this because
of a simple smile
That hadn't cost a cent.
