smile while you're growing, child
smile as you walk
smile on the patio
your hands powdered with chalk
smile at all your friends, child
smile while they play
smile when they go back home
they'll be back someday
smile when they don't come back
smile nonetheless
smile while you miss them
no need for distress
smile when you fall in love
smile while you sing
smile when your heart breaks
repair your broken wing
smile while you age, my dear
smile at the sun
smile with your eyes as well
it's not too late for fun
smile at the end, dear friend
smile as you go
smile at the beautiful
above and down below
