Pass It On



By Ricky D. Claar

Smiling is infectious you can catch it like the flu
when someone smiled at me I started smiling too
when I passed the corner someone saw my grin
when he smiled I realized I passed it onto him

I thought about that smile and realized its worth
a single smile just like mine could travel round the earth
so if you feel a smile begin don't leave it undetected
lets start an epidemic quick and get the world infected

Ricky D. Claar did NOT write the poem you have titled as pass it on. I wrote it and its name is A Smile For You. I wrote it in the late 80's and passed out 12 copies on 5x7 cards. I left it anonymous so it could be freely distributed from person to person. I recently got internet access and have found more than half a dozen people claiming my words as their own. 4 so far that have copyrighted my work. All of these plagiarists should be ashamed of themselves. Either post it as anonymous, author unknown or Linda Rogers but do not steal a gift I gave the world and claim it for yourself. Shame on you Ricky!
