Value of a Smile

There's no way to determine the value of a smile-
no guidelines, no charts, nothing kept on file.
Whether it glitters, or glistens, or even gleams;
what matters most is how it came to be.

Giving someone a hug when they have a bad day,
a compliment when their self-esteem begins to decay,
or even a simple gift- significant but small-
is the best way for a smile to break someone's fall.

Expect nothing back, but delight across their face,
a sign of appreciation, a tender embrace.
For when needed most, those people will be there
to give back the smile you willingly helped them wear.

It's the time from you day and a piece from your heart;
That's the value of a smile, and the goodness you impart.
