Once upon an evening so rare
A beautiful woman with auburn hair
Came trotting along
Singing a song
"A smile is something we can share!"
You see, this beautiful woman was strong and bright
Throughout her life, many questioned her might
They felt she did not belong
But she proved them wrong
She believed in herself most days and nights.
She tired of the fight every day
To show all the world she was okay
She learned quite soon
We must take the opportune
To acknowledge we all can have bad days.
There were times she felt it was time to conform
She felt beat and overwhelmed by the storm
Then someone would call
Who needed her all
And her thoughts would magically transform
So many know not why they're here
They can't fathom; their purpose is not clear
But she knew from the start
She'd bring joy to many hearts
And would continue always to persevere
Bad days would come, and then they would go
"Focus on the good," she'd say, "Don't you know?
Because no matter the rain
The sun comes back again
And a smile is something we never outgrow."
Love Lots; Smile Often
