What Makes You Smile?

What makes you smile?
Beautiful scenery or beautiful art?
Helping a friend or the needy,
And doing your part?

Getting a job done,
Being sure to follow through.
Earning people's trust and respect
Makes you smile too.

Adorable babies laughing
And jabbering when they see something new,
Getting to see the new baby animals
At your local zoo.

Seeing your family
Grow by leaps and bounds--
Staying healthy and fit,
And your debt load down.

Wonderful memories of long ago,
Things done with family and friends---
Sharing old pictures and talking
Of pranks, the laughter won't end.

Having people to count on
When times are tough--
Their help lifts your spirits,
You can't thank them enough.

The main thing to make you smile
When you feel lost and alone--
Is God's love and care,
It's forever, it's not just a loan.
