“When life is getting you down,
remember a smile does more good than a frown.”
Quote - poet’s own

Life is meant to be a joy, mother said
From the first moment you wake
Till in bed your sleepy head is at rest
Happy is how we are meant to be
It’s a special gift from our magic maker 
Generously handed to thee freely 
Always be kind, however you feel
For harsh words live on forever
Kindness helps the broken to mend
It’s also an appealing charm of life.
