Stop Wearing That Frown

Pain is not the enemy
What is causing the pain is the foe
Stress is not the warrior
What is causing the distress surely has to go
Life is what we make it
So if yours is getting you down
Its' your life_change it
Stop wearing that awful frown

Good descriptiveness and rhyming in a rather short piece that is easy to read and understand.

Good philosophy for us all, SAra. There is a song in our church primary classes: Turn that frown upside down (i forgot the other words. haha) Luv, Andrea

Good advice. Our attitudes can make a big difference, not only to others, but to ourselves as well.

So true, Sara. We have to work at turning the smile upside down, but it's always worth the effort. Life is what we make it. Well stated, my friend. Love, Carolyn
