Remember To Smile
I remember an old song called I think Turn Around.
About a young girl and every time she turned around a new age in her life was
found.
As she turned around she would age five to ten years.
It was so beautifully done it would nearly bring on tears.
She started out as a baby and ended when she had babes of her own.
It seems like it was a commercial I know I’ve seen it shown.
Memories are our camera lens of these days gone by.
Captured forever in our minds they often make us cry.
Sad memories seem to stand out most in our wayward minds.
Like some old soap seen on t.v. they’re better left behind
Good memories will always prevail if we choose them to.
Instead of feeling all sad and blue, think about some good times too.
Change the movie in your mind, one to suit your mood.
Put a smile on your face and be a happy dude. (or dudette)
Put an s between each mile and watch the day go by.
People will look at you and smile and won’t even know the answer why.
Smiling and yawning are contagious things if you do them right.
Yawning and smiling or smiling and yawning it is still a delightful sight.
Here’s happy thoughts to you and yours as you journey through the years.
Happy memories to hold on to instead of those that bring you tears.
Remember To Smile
