Brian spreads smiles on our Inpatient Unit

Inpatient Brian spread joy and happiness in the Hospice this week by reciting the poem 'Smile' by Spike Milligan. We'd like to share the poem with you all.

Smiling is infectious
You catch it like the flu
When someone smiled at me today
I started smiling too

I walked around the corner
And someone saw me grin
When he smiled I realised
I had passed it on to him

I thought about the smile
And then realised its worth
A single smile like mine
Could travel round the earth

So if you feel a smile begin
Don’t leave it undetected
Start an epidemic
And get the world infected
- by Spike Milligan

Our clinical team said “A special man, a special poem – I hope it brings a smile to your face like it did to ours.”
