Smiling Is Infectious
by Spike Milligan

Smiling is infectious,
you catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized
I’d passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile,
then I realized its worth.
A single smile, just like mine
could travel round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin,
don’t leave it undetected.
Let’s start an epidemic quick,
and get the world infected!

what a brilliant poem you just have to smile when you read it .

I just saw this instagram post yesterday, and it was heartwarming. Michael Buble talking about passing along kindness.

We got stuck in a load of mud when my daughter was taking me to hospital one day a lovely young man came and helped us it was a difficult job and he wouldn’t take any reward just said ‘pass it on’ my daughter dropped me off and saw an elderly man waiting for the bus to our town so she asked him if he would like a lift, so yes we passed it on
