Enjoy the sunshine, push the dark clouds away for now, and smile with today’s poem by Ian Herman.
The 80-year-old, who lives in a small village called Harwell in Oxfordshire, clearly likes to look on the bright side of life and says: “It makes me happy to spend most of my spare time writing poems and stories.”
Share It By Ian Herman
Take a word of kindness, Mix it with a smile, Take it with you every day,
And go the extra mile.
Share it with your neighbour, Or someone you’ve just met, It will probably make their day, Something they won’t forget.
Happiness comes from within, You give and you receive,
It is a two-way thing though, All you do is just believe.
It’s not always easy though, Some days we may feel down, But a word of kindness, Will get rid of that old frown.
So share your day with someone, With a kind word or a smile, You will really be surprised, It makes living so worthwhile.
