The Power of a Smile

It’s amazing what one smile can do

I discovered this one day

You see, I was going to go home and shoot myself

Because the pain I could not bare

But then you took the time to smile at me

That was all it took for my day to change

A stranger’s smile made my day

And saved my life

It’s amazing what one smile can do

It takes no effort from you

I was really sick of my life

It was getting too much to bear

But then a stranger smiled at me

And let me know the world still cares

Their smile made my day, my week

It helped me to see just what a smile can bring

It’s amazing what one smile can do

I’d brought a gun to school that day

But a genuine smile from a fellow classmate

Made me change my mind

Some people in this world still care

And through a smile they can prove

That this world is really not so bad

And people deserve to live

All it takes is one smile from you

One very trivial thing

One that may mean nothing to you

But everything to someone else

You can save someone’s life

Simply by giving them a smile

So next time you feel like snapping

Shoot a smile instead
