When every day brings sadness
No cost to turn your muscles
No cost to bring some new life
And perhaps you’ll find as life moves on
Return to Viola's New Life PageNo Cost
When things go wrong in your world
and life seems rather unfair,
and loved ones fail to understand
the burdens of pain you bear
and joy it seems is lost,
perhaps if you smile for just a while
you’d see there is no cost,
to a smile, from a frown,
no cost to greet another
with a smile when they’re down,
to another soul you meet,
no cost to brighten someone’s day
when you’re walking down a street..
the burdens you carried too,
have faded away by the end of the day
because you smiled at someone like you.

Written with love and prayers
for those who are feeling down.
