Reason



You don't need a reason to smile,
For a smile is worth a thousand words;
You don't need a reason to give,
For giving is sharing without words;
You don't need a reason to live,
For it is a God given gift;
You don't need a reason to dream,
For dreaming makes a beautiful start;
You don't need a reason to be happy,
For every smile you give,
Everything you share,
Every day you live,
And every time you dream,
You give someone a reason,
To believe...
