Smile, If You'Re Feeling Sad

Smile,
if you’re feeling sad;
it just might turn your world around
and confuse the heck out of that misery
who expects you to wear a frown.

Laugh,
if you’re feeling mad;
it just might change your attitude -
and that person who really pissed you off
will just think that you’re being rude.

Sing,
if you feel depressed;
sing a little, happy tune –
and when your gray skies turn a bright blue
you’ll know that the sun will be shining soon.

Giggle,
if you feel upset;
remember a funny, silly joke -
and that pain will never be the same
once you give your ticklish side a poke.

You can change just how you feel;
it is totally up to you;
Smile and laugh, sing and giggle -
such easy, little things to do.

Smile, when you’re feeling sad;
Laugh, when you’re feeling mad;
Sing, when you feel depressed;
Giggle, when you get upset.

And have a happy day, no matter what comes your way!

So true Joe..I am a pitching coach and when ever one of my pitchers is struggling I go out and tell to smile and have fun. It is amazing how it works.
