Here's an idea that brings lots of smiles-- go to your neighborhood crafts store (I went to Michael's), pick up some polished colored stones, hand-draw some smiles, and leave those smile-stones with the following poem at coffee shop tables or just about any public venue.
Look a Smile Stone straight in the eye and you'll smile back not knowing why
It's something about their lopsided grins, their lack of noses and of chins
A twinkling something that's not-quite-art touches your heart
Like snowflakes and fingerprints no two are the same
But why? You ask- What's the point of this game?
Somebody's hand drew those smiles for you
To find and to keep and to give away too
For when the smile fades from the stone
Then you'll find it within
And this is where you get to begin
To share that smile where there's a lack
All you'll need is a pen
(Permanent. Black)
To draw a new smile in place of the old
And send it off on its way
to places untold
Smilestone milestones
Marking the way
We each can reach out
to
Make Someone's Day.

we can work on stones and flowers....
smiling stones may lead to smiling faces
that is the goal i think
thank you for the idea...
They're so cute and simple and fun, and what a nice poem!
