The Value of a Smile
It costs nothing but creates much.
It enriches those who receive it, without impoverishing those who give.
It happens in a flash and the memory sometimes lasts forever.
It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and nature's best antidote for trouble.
It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friends.
It cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anyone till it is given away.
For no one needs a smile quite so much as he who has none left to give.

POETRY
By Nicole Betz
Date: 10 December 1998Forgiveness
Thou, I long to kiss you sweetly,
and press my lips to yours
you deny me all I'm worthy
and your closing all your doors.I can't help but think I'm sorry
and that I have done you wrong
but I need to know you love me,
that you've loved me all along.Can't you see that I still need you
that I long to feel your touch
I am dying here without you
cause I'm loving you that much!Please won't you forgive me?
I'm needing you that bad
I'm sick and tired of crying
but I lost you, now I'm sad.I should say I'm sorry
that I love you and I need you
but will that change the way you feel,
will that change the things you do?I still long for loving,
all the great things that you are
knowing you'll forever be,
my forever, shining star!
"I have always know that at last I would take this road, but yesterday, I did not know that it would be today" - Ariwara No Narihira, 9th Century

But Wisdom will keep it whole.
