Aim To Smile, Not To Mourn

J-ust aim to smile, not to mourn, 
U-ndaunted despite the setback; 
N-o reason to cry and agonize, neither walking out nor losing track.

B-e ready to smile, not to mourn, 
A-lthough there is failure; 
U-nfazed in spite of loss, 
T-hinking of another rapture.
I-t's better to accept any matter, 
S-eptember eighteenth morn; 
T-ry to welcome everything, 
A-im to smile, not to mourn.
