My mother wrote a poem 70 years ago, and sold it (and all rights) for a dollar. Now, it shows up in poetry books everywhere, as written by "anonymous".
TRY SMILING - by yorkie's mom, Anonymous
When the weather suits you not,
Try smiling.
When your coffee isn't hot,
Try Smiling.
When your neighbors don't do right,
Or your relatives all fight,
Sure 'tis hard, but then you might
Try smiling.
Doesn't change the things, of course-
Just smiling.
But it cannot make them worse -
Just smiling.
And it seems to help your case,
Brightens up a gloomy place,
Then, it sort o' rests your face -
Just smiling
