Just Smile

Is life measured in years miles or pain How about sorrow grief or financial gain It seems now a days people focus solely on the past Ignoring the future while hoping yesterday will always last Forgetting to realize what they truly posses Only ideals of living in excess What happened to the values of family and friends or to an everlasting love that never ends We must sometimes remember its the little things in life That take away the pain and get us through the night So if you ever find yourself feeling down and out Try to remember you have a lot to smile about

Nice rhyming- I like the message here-too often I focus on what is missing in my life instead of what is a "present". Welcome!!
