Even in the wood pile, You can make a smile – and when you make a smile or two, those smiles you make will come back to you. I painted smiles on wood in a pile! See the photo: Make Smiles Everywhere!!

HOW TO MAKE SMILES EVERYWHERE!

There’s a wood-pile near our back door

For winter-time is almost here…

When it’s cold we’ll light the fire,

Its warmth we all will share.

Meanwhile, we’re painting faces,

To make the wood look glad.

The funny thing is, the wood smiles at us,

And when we smile back, we can’t feel sad.

For when you give away a smile,

It comes back to you.

When once there was just one smile,

There soon are quite a few!

So if you would feel happy,

Give smiles, for smiles are free,

And when you make others happy,

Glad faces are what you’ll see.

    Not sure why they didn’t publish the picture of the wood pile with smiles painted on the wood — I will publish the photo and put the link here when it is able to be viewed. Thanks for all the encouraging comments! :)

    Give smiles, for smiles are free,
    And when you make others happy,
    Glad faces are what you’ll
