Are things what they seem
On your side of the screen?
Is the smile that shines for me
A brief reality
A respite from the pain
That repeats yet again
As the days of your life
The trials and the strife
The emptiness and sorrow
And a hope that tomorrow
Provides what you desire
And sets your soul on fire
And from out of the blaze
Rising above the haze
Seen from a brand new place
Of peace and lasting grace
Accepting what has been
And ready to begin
To make a brand new day
With love to guide the way
As the vise that bound your heart
Loses strength and falls apart
Releasing pressure from your brain
Making life seem wonderful again
And you find that your inner smile
Was with you all the while
The smile so often seen
From my side of the screen
