A Smile Doesn'T Cost You Anything

You may as well be happy and laugh your cares away For tears won't get you anywhere as some are known to say Few wish to hear your stories if they seem a bit sad They say we have our own problems the good goes with the bad. Happiness is like a magnet it draws others to you And that a smile doesn't cost you anything only happens to be true The grumpy one does not have many friends few wish to put up with his sullen mood They see him as offputting and they leave him there to brood A smile doesn't cost you anything though some find it hard to smile To show their teeth in a friendly way to some seems like hard toil The weight of the World rests on their shoulders or so it would appear Though their poor me sob stories few seem to wish to hear. You laugh the World laughs with you those words appeal to me Of the ghosts of their depression some struggle to be free And those who can smile easily they spread the gift of joy And why others are attracted to them you know the reason why
