Spare a Smile

David Lanier
Today i awoke, got out of bed,
still can't seem to fix my head.
Tried what seemed to work before,
my attitude is really poor.
Wishing away the anger now,
don't want to spend another frown.
Perhaps someone will spare a smile,
it will be mine for awhile.
When that smile has been spent,
all the extras have been lent,
i hope i can find one of my own,
so i can have one to loan.
Someone will be pissed like me,
mad for nothing, want to scream.
But i will have a smile to spare,
it will help to ease their cares.
So scrounge up a smile for me,
maybe then i can be happy.

    It's so true...a smile costs nothing and you never know when it may change someone else's day around.
