From Zion's Herald Subscribe fbrYottr THE SMILE WENT FULL CIRCLE My papa smiled this morning when He came downstairs, you see, At mama, and when he smiled, then She turned and smiled at me; And when she smiled at me I went And smiled at Mary Ann Out in the kitchen, and she lent It to the hired man; So then he smiled at someone whom He saw when going by, Who also smiled and ere he knew Had twinkles In his eye; So he went to his office then And smiled right at his clerk, Who put some more ink on the pen And smiled back from his work. So when his clerk went home, he smiled Right at his wife, and she Smiled over at their little child As happy as could be; And then their little child ,she took The smile to school, and when She smiled at teacher from her book Teacher smiled back again. And then the teacher passed on one To little James McBride, Who couldn't get his lessons done No matter how he tried; And James took it home and told How teacher smiled at him, When he was tired, and didn't scold. But said, "Don't worry, Jim." And when I happened to be there That very night at play, His mother had a smile to spare |
