...and as I am going to simplify my life, it will be posted here and then go in file 15!
I spoke a word of praise today,
One I had no need to say
I spoke a word of praise to one
Commending some small service done,
And in return, to my surprise,
I reaped rewards of mountain size;
For such a look of pleasure shone
Upon his face -- I'll never own
A gift more beautiful to see
Than that swift smile he gave to me.
I spoke one little word of praise
And sunshine fell on both our ways.

The Gift of Wonder, by Helen Lowrie Marshall)
