Francis Duggan Smile Poems

Perhaps she is one who is not free of guile
But she is one who has such a beautiful smile
And a beautiful smile carries one a long way
It does more for one than words can ever say,
...

You may as well be happy and laugh your cares away
For tears won't get you anywhere as some are known to say
Few wish to hear your stories if they seem a bit sad
They say we have our own problems the good goes with the bad.
...

It is true that a smile does not cost one a thing
And a flutter of joy to someone else it might bring
June she spreads joy when walking on the street
She smiles and says hello to everyone she does meet
...

A Smile as is said does not cost one a thing
And a flutter of joy to someone it may bring
A stranger to you who does seem a bit down
That you smile at and say hello to when passing in the town
...

The one who can smile in the face of despair
And never complain or does not say life is unfair
Does not live as a failure despite what some might say
For their positive attitude to life she or her leads the way
...

As a wise person has been known to say
A smile can bring a flutter of joy to your day
The sullen faced people of few wish to know
Since they seem to lack in the bright inner glow
...

Tomorrow is coming and yesterday has gone
And the now is what matters and life does go on
Are you presently happy and feeling okay
That life is what you make of it seems true for to say
...

A smile and hello does not cost you a thing
And joy to some stranger's day it well may bring
The sour faced and moody few wish for to know
Since they do seem lacking in the inner glow
...

A smile to a passing stranger does not cost one a thing
And to some lonely person brief joy it may bring
Laugh and the World laughs with you as the wise one does say
The one who is happy brings joy to your day
...

For you and your fellow workers it has not been a good day
The company head director has given an ultimatum to all company employees to take a cut in pay
For if not his business he will be closing down
And little prospect of a new job start in a high unemployment town
...

We only live to see the better day
And good times may not be too far away
I may live on the verge of poverty
But lady luck tonight could smile on me.
...
