Somebody smiled and the load I bore,
lighter became than ever before.
The road ahead wasn't nearly as long,
and soon I was singing a joyful song.
Hearing the song, another drew near,
whose heart was anxious and full of fear.
We communed awhile of heavenly things,
till doubt and misgivings had taken wings.
Then each to his task with a prayer and a song,
and a smile on our lips to help others along,
How many were helped? We'll know after while
but it all began with somebody's smile!
