Smile


It is so easy to smile like there is nothing wrong

When your so used to putting on a show.

 

Curtains open...

 

Smile so your enemies cannot see you broken.

Smile so the world will not gossip your troubles.

 

Smile because someone knows what your going through.

Smile because that someone is watching you

looking to you for inspiration and guidance.

 

Smile until you get so numb to feel the pain.

Smile until you believe everything will be alright.

 

smile through it all because you have

faith, hope, grace, and mercy carrying you.

Smile because one day this storm will be over

and GOD will answer your prayers and lift your burdens.

 

So Just SMILE!!!
