Keep On Smiling If at times you feel you want to cry And life seems such a trial, Above the clouds theres a bright blue sky, So make your tears a smile. As you travel on lifes way With its many ups and downs, Remember its quite true to say One smile is worth a dozen frowns. Among the worlds expensive things, A smile is very cheap. And when you give a smile away, You get one back to keep. Happiness comes at times to all, But sadness comes unbidden, And sometimes a few tears must fall Among the laughter hidden. So when friends have sadness on their face And troubles round them piled, The world will seem a better place And all because you smiled. By Alexandra Skiathitis RECENT POEM OF THE DAY POSTS
