I will smile

I smile when all hope seems gone
And when sorrows abound
I smile when uncertainty seems to fill my tomorrows.
I Smile.

I Smile
I stand tall and beautiful
Wide eyed and alert
I’m ready
I take on the world
And smile.

Sometimes I strike a silly Pose
I advise everyone to do it too
Let your smile grin
Remember, “Life is beautiful”
And that is true.

And if you agree, smile
If there is nothing left to do
But to do this at least twice a day
Then smile.

If it keeps your world from crashing down.
Then smile.

Life is a journey
A journey of ups and downs
Trials and challenges
Take it from me
God has brought me through this far
To this place I stand
All the things I have done and the places I have seen
And been
God has been with me
And He’s been good to me
Life is a journey
In which I greet cordially
It keeps me on my toes
And all I can do is smile
Smile when my back is against the grain
And the rain hits like pain

I keep a smile.
I give thumbs up
And a high five

To stay positive.
My smile brings joy
Though sometimes life gets me down
I won’t forget to smile.
