KEEP ON SMILING

If at times you feel you want to cry,
And life seems such a trial.
Above the clouds there's a bright blue sky,
So make your tears a smile.

As you travel on life's way,
with it's many ups and downs.
Remember it's quite true to say;
One smile is worth a dozen frowns.

Among the world's expensive things,
A smile is very cheap.
And when you give a smile away, 
You get one back to keep.

Happiness comes at times to all
But sadness comes unhidden.
And sometimes a few tears must fall;
Among the laughter hidden.

So when friends wear sadness on their face
And trouble is piled around them,
The world will seem a better place
And all because of your smile.
