What You Want More In All The World Poem by Juan Olivarez

What you want more in all the world,
Is for someone to smile at you.
Be it an old man, or a little girl,
A smile for a while, quite well will do.

What you want more in all the world,
Is to see a goodly face.
A smile on a face, like a rare pearl,
All sadness from your heart will chase.

What you want more in all the world,
Is free, it doesn't cost a thing.
Practice what you preach, let a smile unfurl,
And see what joy it brings.
