Dr. Murari Pa<strong>to</strong>dia<br />

A smile is quite a funny thing -<br />

It wrinkles up your face,<br />

And when it’s gone you never find<br />

It’s secret hiding place.<br />

But far more wonderful it is<br />

To see what smiles can do;<br />

You smile at one, he smiles at you,<br />

And so one smile makes two.<br />

He smiles at someone since you smiled,<br />

And then that one smiles back;<br />

And that one smiles until in truth<br />

You fail in keeping track.<br />

And since a smile can do great good<br />

By cheering hearts of care -<br />

Let’s smile and smile and not forget<br />

That smiles go everywhere.<br />

A Smile<br />
