Perhaps she is one who is not free of guile <br />But she is one who has such a beautiful smile <br />And a beautiful smile carries one a long way <br />It does more for one than words can ever say, <br />No doubt she's not perfect we all have our flaws <br />The feline who often purrs is known to use her claws <br />But a smile from a stranger just in passing by <br />Can bring to your day a small flutter of joy, <br />On my cares and worries i did silently brood <br />As i walked down the street in an out of sorts mood <br />But a beautiful smile and a warm hello <br />From a lovely young woman one i did not know <br />Helped for to bring a little joy to my day <br />For the best things in life we do not need to pay.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-beautiful-smile/
