I WILL SMILE

I will Smile:

Even if it rains,

I will smile,

never shall sweltering

heat,

take away smile on

my face.

I will smile in

darkness,

I will smile in

the light,

I will smile in cold,

hot, and inclement

weather;

smile-I will have-

on rough road of life.

 

Little though-I may have-

I will share and smile,

I will smile in my worries,

under tension and in pain,

I will smile.

I will smile,

even if life disappoints

me,

when I make mistake-

lips won’t go on vacation,

when betrayed by friends

and siblings,

when hurt by trusted soul,

I will smile.

On divan bed,

I will smile,

when night is long and

day covered by thick

gloom,

still I will smile.

In solitary confinement,

I will smile,

in deep, in height,

on mountain peak and

land,

by cliff edge,

I will smile.

 

Am I hungry,

thirsty, and

sick?

Still-I will smile;

am I down with

challenges?

I will smile.

I will smile unceasingly,

because I have reasons

to do so…
