One beautiful autumn evening as the sun began to set
A woman smiled at a man that she had never met
She didn’t think much more of it and continued on her way
Never knowing how much her smile meant to him that day

This man she passed was feeling sad as he just lost his job
Yet as he sat alone at a restaurant about to break into a sob
He remembered that lady’s delightful smile and left a $20 tip
The waitress who received it grinned and did a happy flip

As she left for home that night with the money in her hand
She passed an alley and found a dog barely able to stand
Cradling the animal in her arms she carried him all the way home
She used the money to buy the dog a bed made out of foam

Late that night when all was quiet she awoke to steady barking
She looked outside the window and found her neighbor’s house burning
With the dog right by her side she called for help towards the event
Now, can you believe it—the neighbor’s son is president!

Just a simple smile has the power of changing lives
No matter where you are and what you do, don’t forget to smile!
