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.

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

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.

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!

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
