How can I be an encouragement to a young person today
With the turmoil that surrounds us and many things astray

Lifting gently with positive thoughts
Untieing their attitude of many knots

Their frowns of frustration will turn to smiles
After attempts to lift them through the miles

Greet with a smile, and a smile will be returned 
Greet with a frown, and your heart will be spurned 

The Peace and Calmness God has given within
I love to share with others to make a new friend
