Smile Though The World Is Aching

Many times, I been wounded in life
But you have never seen me sad
I'll always cover it up with a smile
Many people ask me if I don't get hurt
I said it's hurt, but why stay sad
I can break my heart if I will
But in the world where values so strong
I take permission not to be persuaded
Let us be weak for not too long
I need to be good not to spoil the world.

Hello Hugo, something to ponder here. I agree let us be wek but not for too long. I like the line it hurts but why stay sad. Well sometimes it is hard to be happy when sad. It takes time for some to be happy again . Love you more. /Darlene/

At least you are not carried away to be sad at all. There are many things to make us happy, Darlene. The sun shine in the morning is a good sign to be happy. The smile of a child is contagious. It's a good vibes to be happy. Being sad sometimes is an interlude in life a coda in a song. Life is destined for happiness if you only know how to handle it and sustain the way it ought it to be. Love you more, Darlene./Hugo.
