Bursts of Sunshine

When you see a friend, be sure to smile;

The warmth will stay a long, long while.

And if you see a stranger, smile again.

He needs one as much as your best friend.

If he’s having a discouraging day,

Like wintertime when skies are gray,

Your little smile to him will be

Like bursts of sunshine, bright and free.

Then on a day when you feel blue,

Those bursts of sunshine will return to you,

As all the smiles you gave away

Come back to brighten up your day.
