Analysis of It Can Make The Day 1



When you remember
Special moments with loved ones
It can make the day

When you offer help
When someone needs assistance
It can make the day

When you warmly smile
With a lilt in your greeting
It can make the day

When you share the cost
Of an expensive venture
It can make the day

When you show kindness
To defenseless animals
It can make the day
