The Perfect Gift

The Perfect Gift
(author unknown)
A smile costs nothing, but it creates much.
It enriches those who receive it without impoverishing those who give it.
It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in a business and is the countersign of friends.
It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the soul and natures best antidote for trouble.
It can not be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen. It is something that is of no earthly value to anyone else until it’s given away.
If it ever happens that some people should be too tired to give you a smile, why not leave one of  yours?
For nobody needs a smile as much as those who have none left to give.
