Smile

What makes you smile

As you go through your day?

Is it lots of power

Or a high rate of pay?

A fancy car, designer shoes

An argument you know you can’t loose.

Maybe, though you’re more like me

A country kind of girl.

Who’s frown is turned upside down

At the sight of a frisky squirrel.

A goat on a hill, a calf in the hay

These are the sights that brighten my day.

Ducks on the pond, lambs in a pile

It’s the simple things in life

That make me smile.
