When you wear a genuine smile,
Others often find themselves smiling too;
But when sadness begins to fill your heart,
The world around you takes on a melancholy blue.
Strive to treat each other with gentle kindness,
As that positive energy keeps your spirit bright.
(Though if you're feeling a bit mischievous,
You might break that rule just for spite!)
It doesn't require a fortune
To pause and offer a friendly "hello".
Share a smile with those you encounter,
And let the warmth of your compassion grow.
Maintain a steady, positive outlook,
And your days will feel meaningful and clear;
Dwell in negativity and heavy thoughts,
And that darkness becomes difficult to steer.
If a song lives inside you, sing it boldly,
Let your spirit reach toward the sun.
Blend your voice with the rising music,
Until the joyful melody is never done.
Finish your evening with one last grin,
Reflecting on the good you’ve left behind.
Let your eyes rest as you drift into dreams,
Knowing today, you were truly kind.
BE NICE. IT ALWAYS PAYS
