Smile

(Smile) Photo by Alan L Boles Soaked wet... Was the last straw, Could life get any worse, She sat and wondered, Hoping and wishing For better days, Drenched to the skin, With saddened heart! Was this her story? For the rest of life, Why do some people Seem to have everything Parents that care! Nice cloths, Enough money, Warm houses, While others...sleep in gutters, Life didn't seem fair, She looked around, At people...passing by, Why does life do this? When will the rains stop, And the Sun shine my way, Every day hoping for a break Not able to see through the clouds, For the dripping water, Just when she thought, It couldn't get any worse, Someone took her picture Smile...they said, Your beautiful.... She looked up and thought, Your joking... A man holding a camera spoke, Can I publish your story! Wendy Jae
