Notes About The Poem

Date written: 07/10/2023

Smile Through Your Troubles

Smile through your troubles
    even when clouds are gray.
        It's not easy, I know.
        Keep a stiff upper lip.
   Don't let your sad face show!

   Smile through your troubles.
    Don't ever lose your smile
    when life deals you a blow.
You'll get past the rough phase;
    go with life's ebb and flow.

   Smile through your troubles
    Let all your woes go numb;
       everything will be fine.
     Just put your faith in God.
   In you, his light does shine.

A splendid poem with an equally splendid Message. For sadness is life's stepping stone to joy such as you've never known. Beautifully written and a joy to read. Thank you Edward.
