Smile

I come to you with a heavy heart
I come with all my burdens
Burdens of past hurts
A pot full of disappointments
A tray with an array of lost battles
I try, I fail
I give, I do not receive
I ask, I get nothing
Fragile little me
Now a bottle of broken pieces
All I ask is for you to fix me
 
She said ....
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Smile?
My face hits the ground
My teeth bites the dust
A smile would be deception
A smile is near impossible
Stormy weather, grey skies
Earthquakes and Hurricanes
Fear and Confusion
Now my only cup of tea
The next step, a strategy
I have no clue
The meaning of life, I seek


She said ....
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Smile?
When my tears are my only companion
My solitude, my only solace
Humph! Some solace!
Perhaps, a new refuge I must seek
To trudge on, I must
For any day soon all shall be well
All shall be well?
Oh, reason to smile
I try, I give, I ask .. I trust
Any day soon
What will be, will be
For now, I smile 

You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile 

Sending some sunshine your way. :-) If you're feeling down and blue, remember that there are better days ahead .... this too shall pass, Amen. Just keep on keeping on and smile, even when your life feels like shit. Smile, because no situation is permanent. Smile, because its good for your face :-) Smile because I said so. hehehe. Oh, and smile so that your enemies will be shy (my aunt told me that one). So, ya, I'm sending a smile your way. kisses, peace & love. keep praying.
