Smile Anyway

Accidental Poet



 

When the world around you

Seams so depressing

And all your troubles

Surround you so upsetting

Smile anyway

 

When work is unbearable

Too heavy a workload

Remember to share its weight

Some other time to be a hero

Smile anyway

 

If in the morning rain

You hear not a bird sing

And you sadly frown

With your bank account dwindling

Smile anyway

 

As your love

Sadly, says good-bye

Leaving you in despair

Without a reason why

Smile anyway

 

With a sudden flutter

Your silent phone rings

A voice from your past

With a smile your heart jingalings

Smile anyway

 

In time you will see

How life balances out

And the good comes with bad

Part of what life’s all about

Smile anyway

      Thanks N. I figured my last poem was a real downer, so I decided to go the other direction to offset it. 😊

      😁 First; the smile at the top of the poem made me laugh; and second; a beautiful reminder of what a smile can do.

        Thank you so much GenXer, I hope you watched the Charlie Chaplin video also. That one made me chuckle twice as hard. 😆

          I did. I used to watch him all the time with my siblings but that seems like ages ago lol

              KP's smile is stuck like a Cheshire cat, due to botox! heehee. Or should that be old trout?

              • Accidental Poet

                Maybe its an old trout with Botox. ðŸĪ”

                • orchidee

                  Really enjoyed this poem. A bit of cheer is really needed to beat the January blues.

                  • Accidental Poet

                    Thanks Tom, hope your January blues are on the way out.

                      Thanks Teddy, I ALWAYS like to see you smiling. 😁 And correct me if I'm wrong, but is Charlie Chaplin singing in Italian?

                    • Teddy.15

                          No it's actually nonsense as is written on the title.
