For Your Health's Sake, Smile

I hate to see people wear long faces, as if they were ill, making their day a boring one, perhaps thinking of an unpaid bill; the first thing I do raising up is pull up my blinds: let the sunrise gently kiss my pretty flowers! Lots of times I fell into depression wanting to cry, and shrouded in bleak thoughts, all I saw was shadows and darkness... I couldn't breathe...I needed to escape, not die! So in the briefest time, I took my stand against hurtful loneliness! A new person was born, and that's no small victory... as I kept telling myself, " For your heath's sake, smile! " It worked like a cure, and my whole mind and body were transformed...living worry-free and feeling fine!
