~SMILE~
SHE SMILED AT A SORROWFUL STRANGER.
THE SMILE SEEMED TO MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER.
HE REMEMBERED A PAST KINDNESS OF A FRIEND
AND WROTE HIM A THANK-YOU LETTER.
THE FRIEND WAS SO PLEASED WITH THE THANK-YOU
THAT HE LEFT A LARGE TIP AFTER LUNCH.
THE WAITRESS, SUPRISED BY THE SIZE OF THE TIP,
BET THE WHOLE THING ON A HUNCH.
THE NEXT DAY SHE PICKED UP HER WINNINGS,
AND GAVE PART TO A MAN ON THE STREET.
THE MAN ON THE STREET WAS GRATEFUL;
FOR TWO DAYS HE'D HAD NOTHING TO EAT.
AFTER HE FINISHED HIS DINNER,
HE LEFT FOR HIS SMALL DINGY ROOM.
(HE DIDN'T KNOW AT THAT MOMENT
THAT HE MIGHT BE FACING HIS DOOM)
ON THE WAY HE PICKED UP A SHIVERING PUPPY
AND TOOK HIM HOME TO GET WARM.
THE PUPPY WAS VERY GRATEFUL
TO BE IN OUT OF THE STORM.
THAT NIGHT THE HOUSE CAUGHT ON FIRE.
THE PUPPY BARKED THE ALARM.
HE BARKED 'TIL HE WOKE UP THE HOUSEHOLD
AND SAVED EVERYBODY FROM HARM.
ONE OF THE BOYS GREW UP TO BE PRESIDENT.
ALL BECAUSE OF A SIMPLE SMILE
THAT HADN'T COST A CENT.
FROM "CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE TEENAGE SOUL"-BARBRA HAUCK, AGE 13
-THIS IS TO REMIND YOU TO ALWAYS SMILE =)
HERE IS ANOTHER "CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE TEENAGE SOUL" POEM
SUBMITTED BY BETTIE B. YOUNG.
I KEEP MY PAINT BRUSH WITH ME
WHEREVER I MAY GO,
IN CASE I NEED TO COVER UP
SO THE REAL ME DOSEN'T SHOW.
I'M SO AFRAID TO SHOW YOU ME,
AFRAID OF WHAT YOU'LL DO-THAT
YOU MAY LAUGH OR SAY MEAN THINGS.
I'M AFRAID I MIGHT LOSE YOU.
I'D LIKE TO REMOVE ALL MY PAINT COATS
TO SHOW YOU THE REAL, TRUE ME,
BUT I WANT YOU TO TRY AND UNDERSTAND,
I NEED YOU TO ACCESPT WHAT YOU SEE.
SO IF YOU'LL BE PATIENT AND CLOSE YOUR EYES,
I'LL STRIP OFF ALL MY COATS REAL SLOW.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH IT HURTS
TO LET THE REAL ME SHOW.
NOW MY COATS ARE ALL STRIPPED OFF.
I FEEL NAKED, BARE, AND COLD,
AND IF YOU STILL LOVE ME WITH ALL THAT YOU SEE,
YOU ARE MY FRIEND, PURE AS GOLD.
I NEED TO SAVE MY PAINT BRUSH THOUGH,
AND HOLD IT IN MY HAND,
I WANT TO KEEP IT HANDY
IN CASE SOMEBODY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.
SO PLEASE PROTECT ME MY DEAR FRIEND
AND THANKS FOR LOVING ME TRUE,
BUT PLEASE LET ME KEEP MY PAINT BRUSH WITH ME
UNTIL I LOVE ME TOO.
