Why I Live

You ask me how, I never cry
or curse God's name, or question why.
You ask me how I keep this grin,
While drowning in this world of sin.

I simply state, with all this hate,
the world has in its present state,
that i can't find a way to live,
unless i'm smiling, please forgive..

So to you, an invitation
To spread this love throughout this nation.
But why not go the extra mile,
and give the world my viral smile?

Now one last time, go forth my friend,
and see this problem to the end,
Try to brighten someone's day,
and keep that smile,  it's here to stay!
