Smile Jenny, Smile
Unchosen paths,
yet for us to follow,
give us hope
to change our course of sorrow.
Fear of death,
or fear of living,
Either, or
Neither, nor
In any case, unforgiving.
Our Broken Dreams,
Our trail of friends,
Our forgotten fathers,
shape our pain.
But, future twists
and childrens' laughter,
no doubt,
like water,
will lift us once again.
Smile Jenny, Smile.
You know, you have that way
of touching someone,
at any time of any day,
and never knowing it all the while.
