Were We Born To Smile

Were we born to smile?
I ask myself the question
And wait for a reply 

But I tell myself once more
Were we born to feel happy?
Were we born to feel joy?

I got into a collective thought
And wonder.............
Were we born to feel emotions?

Oh wait!!!
No
We weren't

Or were we?
After being stabbed
By friends that later ends 

I burn in rage 
And cry to beyond heights
That all relationships ends and also friends

Begins philosophical, ends emotional. The mix made an interesting turnabout. From head to heart.

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
