You want to know a secret?

The secret of how to get little kids to eat out of your hand,
To obey you, to want to see you,
To love you, to cling to you?
Sure you do.

The secret of how to get older folks to like you,
To be just a little happier, to enjoy life just a little more,
To grin at you, to seem less half-alive?
Sure you do.

The secret of how to get someone to like you,
To want to sit by you, to text you back,
To hang out with you, to talk to?
Sure you do.

The secret of how to make your day a little brighter,
To make yourself seem prettier, to glow a little,
To be that much more proud of yourself?

Get a mirror, look into it and . . .
