J/ Something each day?a smile, It is not much to give, And the little gifts of life Make sweeter the days we live. The world has weary hearts That we can bless and cheer, And a smile for every day Makes sunshine all the year. Something each day?a word, We cannot know its power, It grows in fruitfulness; It grows the beautiful flower, What a comfort it will bring When all is dark and drear, For a kindly word each day Makes pleasure all the year.
