Smiling is infectious,
you catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today
I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled, I realized
I’d passed it on to him.
I thought about my smile and then
I realized its worth.
A single smile like mine could travel
right around the earth.
If you feel a smile begin
don’t leave it undetected.
Let’s start an epidemic quick
and get the world infected.
