Keep On Smiling


If at times you feel you want to cry

And life seems such a trial

Above the clouds theres a bright blue sky

So make your tears a smile

 

As you travel on life's way 

With its many ups and downs

Remember its quite true to say

One smile is worth a dozen frowns

 

Among the worlds expensive things

A smile is very cheap

And when you give a smile away

You get one back to keep

 

Happiness comes at times to all

But sadness comes unbidden

And sometimes a few tears must fall

Among the laughter hidden

 

So when friends have sadness on there face

And troubles rounds them piled

The world will seem a better place

And all because you smiled
