Smile


Smile
That's all I ask.

Smile
when you can, when you will.

Smile
if you have reason, but not my own.

Smile
not to please others.

Smile
where ever you see fit.

Smile
just enough to say you're okay.

Smile
even if no one else will.

Smile
or I'll be a fool to make you.

Smile
because you can.
