Smiling In The Darkness
I have a darkness I carry
Like a black cloak
It is heavy with my sorrow
Full of all the deaths and all the love
That fill me and spill over
No matter how I try to bury it
Each death has shattered me
In a different way
Each visit to the cemetery
Each engraved name
Is a dagger into my heart and soul
The death of my baby
Of my husband and dad
And grandma
They haunt me for sure
I accept those somehow
But the death of my mother
And my sister- this I will never
Get over
I am shattered
They were my rock and anchor
They were my sanctuary and bliss
Oh, I can hear them telling me
smile when your heart is hurting
smile when you feel like weeping
find your strength when your heart is broken
Hide your melancholy and mourning
Smile though your tears are falling
Don't let the darkness win
Find your courage and strength each new dawn
Let only tranquility and serenity dwell
In your life
Stop your sobbing
Find a purpose in life and the darkness will fade
Just smile when you feel like crying
So that is exactly what I do
