Smile

Keep a smile on your face,
No matter your fate.
Keep on going ahead,
Don't falter and wait.

You can train your feeling,
To act like a clown.
Even though you are hurting,
You must never look down.

With a smile on your face,
Your image will hold.
It will travel its course,
And stick to its mold.

And if you are crying,
Your smile will not twist.
It will stay there...just smiling,
If your contours persist.

Keep a smile on your face,
Let happiness show.
You can mis-match your features,
But a smile...let it grow.
