THANK YOU FOR THE SMILES 😊


It's not so difficult to share a 'Smile', even when you want to cry,
It's not impossible to hide your tears, even when you're asking 'Why?'.
Our lives are full of ups and downs, of countless highs and lows,
With each passing experience, our ability to cope, just grows.

I've spent many years being all alone, and cried many silent tears,😢
I've grappled with sorrow and immense pain, also innumerable fears.
But through it all, each time I stop, to ponder and think for a while,
I realize that it hasn't been so tough at all, to constantly wear a Smile.😊

I guess I've been blessed with some special grace, a Gift just given to a few,
The ability to 'Smile' despite my tears, and to give God the glory that's due.
I'm glad He bestowed and endowed me, with this wonderfully precious Gift,
Without which, I'm sure in an ocean of sadness, I'd surely have been cast adrift.
 
It is only His gentle Hand, that has guided me along,
It is only His tender Love, that has filled my world with Song.
Even in times of loneliness, I just know He is Always There,
My saddest moments in life, with only Him I constantly share.🙏

So I lost my sweet handsome Brother, when I was still a little child,
But I gained a 'Special Angel', in the vast heavens, so meek and mild.✨️
I miss him at life's every step, of that there is absolutely no doubt,
But I know he's always watching, from above where the birds head South.❤️

Strange as it may seem to some, it is the tears that have taught me to Smile,
Unreal, though it may certainly be, 'Genuine Happiness' is the contact to dial.
Every time life throws a bouncer at you, that you simply cannot duck,
Just 'Smile' at it with all your heart, and fresh Courage, right up you'll pluck. 😊✍️
