Late Summer Verse

Donkey Riding - Whitby Beach (GB) Summer 2012 - photo by Nigel A JAMES 

Listen to this poem!

listen to ‘Diarikom - Smiling - A short poem to help you smile’ on Audioboo

A poem for us all!

Smiling!

Smiling is contagious,

You catch it like the ‘flu.

When someone smiled at me today,

I started smiling, too.

I passed around the corner,

And someone saw my grin,

And when he smiled I realized

I’d passed it on to him!

I thought about that smile,

Then realized its worth;

A simple smile – just like mine

Could travel round the earth!

So, if you feel a smile begin,

Don’t leave it undetected,

Let’s start an epidemic quick

And get the world infected.

I came upon this poem a long time ago, I liked it, and so I jotted it down. But, unfortunately, I didn’t note the poet!  Does anyone know who wrote this?
