Smile

"Smile," by Charlie Chaplin

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 pain and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun shining through
For you.

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.

Sweet summer morning

She's like a sweet summer morning,
I love to feel it's breeze,
Reminiscent of how she wins you over with ease
The sunshine reminds me of that radiant smile,
And the early hour reminded me of that innocence of a child

I'm certain that the fresh grass borrowed the sweet smell from her hair,
And the chirping birds and the blooming flowers reassure me of that same care,
And then comes the fun,frolic,and mischief of the little ones,
Their collective joyous sounds echo her laughter,
Giving me hope for this world and the hereafter.
