Notes About The Poem

Wear a smile and get out there

no one said life would be a breeze
i compare it to getting out and climbing trees
i sometimes fall to my knees but don't stay down
i get up and refuse tenaciously to wear a frown
in my imagination i have wings and i roam free
i do my best to expand the big world before me
