These Days, Let’s Smile
look at these days, and these days, we need gentle, knowing friendships more than ever, as much as always. That’s what I love to encourage.
Today, I received an email reminding me people need those smiles.
I don’t care what divides you. I just want you to grin widely, warmly. I think you do too.
Some of you are saying, “Why can’t we be friends?” but don’t spend time with those who think differently. Love takes that risk.
I have work to do. Join me.
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now.
–The Youngbloods
