On This Day

Darkened clouds overshadowed me
Insults dropped like rain, My
Thick layer emerged



















There are times when people are at
their worst and they do all they can
to make you just as miserable as
them ,don't let them...Just smile 
and put on your Thick Layer.

Interesting perspective--good message. We have to learn to get a bit of a thick skin to survive in a sometimes cruel world. And yes, a smile offers opportunity to bring out the good in others. Nice job! Karen
