Swallow a Smile
"Swallow A Smile"
When it first started
which would be impossible to trace,
we've accepted the fact that a smile
is only worn for the face!
Realizing what elicits this gesture
is when we are thoroughly pleased
as the corners of our mouths
tend to rise with relative ease!
What if we took that feeling
and to make it more worthwhile,
what if we did something
so simple as this....
"Swallow A Smile!"
That's right!....
"Swallow A Smile!"
Send that feeling way down
to our feet!
Who wouldn't want
to feel that feeling!
"Man!, that's got to feel sweet!"
What's the worst
that could possibly happen?
A case of the
"Giggles"
as it goes down!
The very idea to
"Swallow A Smile"
sure beats wearing a frown!
Unfortunately the world today
is in such a turmoil filled state!
Whatever could help
to provide relief,
"Wow! Wouldn't that be great!"
There is something
that pleases everyone
and causes within great joy,
like watching a child
light up like the sun
when they receive a new toy!
So the next time
something good happens
and you want to feel
"like your rolling in the aisle!"
With nothing to lose,
go ahead, try it once!
Enjoy the feeling....
"Swallow A Smile!"
