When Children Smile
by Mary Evelyn Notgrass
when children smile
the world looks brighter
and hearts, unburdened,
aren't so heavy
when children laugh
the world seems nicer
and problems tend to float away
when children sing
the world sounds better
and eternal things are easier to see
when we become like children
the world looks brighter
the world seems nicer
the world sounds better
and eternal things are easier to see
