Don'T Worry About a Thing

Smile today ~ everything's gonna be OK
                                                        
Whether it's Sunshine or Skies of gray
                                                        
Things will get better ~ 'cause Nothing really lasts forever 
                                                        
So Smile today ~ free your heart to play

What's yours no one can take ~ things must get brighter
                                                        
Surely love will find a way  ~ Smile today

"Don't Worry About a Thing" is a great philosophy, Arturo. Thank you for the reminder. If we could all live this way, we would feel great!

Thank you, Molly...We have no choice but to smile...imagine frowning and feeling bad...a double dose of pain.

Thank you - what a positive piece of poetry as it is so important to smile. Not least because it is contagious, but happiness is essential for our wellbeing!!

Without a smile there'd be no sun, the stars would be all gone...Thanks for dropping by Elle, I appreciate it...

This reminds me of one of my affirmations, "despite appearances, all things are in divine order." It would be good to start each day reading these sunshiny words of yours. I like how you use * between lines, it adds something I can't identify. All the best to you ... CayCay

You've got a Rasta heart...My first love was the Stones...When I learned of Bob, I fell in love...I felt freedom in the music... For me, you are one of the pillars on this site... and I will let no one stand in your way...All the best for the season...Just a few days away

I have no choice, the other is to cry... and that's not too bad once you smile after...Thank you Charlie

Sometimes all we can do it just try to smile, even when our heart is breaking. It's better than succumbing to the sadness. I'm glad I read this today, it's a beautiful message.

Arturo Michael

But if you must cry ... Do both... Laugh and cry... Thank you for passing by...All the best

I am jealous, Arturo... I wish that I had wrote this one ;) Words of beatuy and daily relevant…sweet and simplistic!

Arturo Michael

Don't say that, there so many things you can say...I wrote this to console myself when my mind was blocked... Thanks for passing by and commenting... I wish you and yours all the best for the season

A smile, I agree, makes for happy... If only some didn't show wry when I ask why they smile when things are not funny? Just thinking out loud Arturo, but based on fact. As is I thank you for the smile your poem brought to my face, write on Arturo, write on!

Arturo Michael

Good morning Mick...Life is hard I admit...but smiling eases the pressure...when you would like to quit... Nothing can replace it...A frown doesn't get anything positive done anyway...All the best My friend

You know something? This will be a great song. Seeing that you are a singer and musician it will be an easy accomplishment for you. Having said that I will take your great advice on board and smile more often. A lovely poem Arthuro .....Maria
