When times are getting rough ,
I smile,
When time seems like not enough,
I smile.
When roads seem endless,
I smile,
When I feel in distress
I smile.
When I feel like giving up
I smile.
When I start to look at things close-up
I smile.
All the things that can make me smile,
Don’t always seem to be worthwhile,
But if I keep smiling
And hoping for the best
I know I can leave it up to God for the rest.
