LEAVE ME MY SMILE Over time many have told me a different way,their visions of a new day seemed to have gone astray All the while resting in the back of mind were just basic thoughts of how to be kind Simplest things can bring us to task ,bliss is last, now forcing our happiness to go away Bringing back a grin often brings on more pain, well worth the toll when it is found Ceaseless game of bad or good trying to force us to take sides,will we give in today Fresh faced within flowing morning air,breathing inward,stopped short,gloom suddenly formed as a cloud People paying more attention to whiners than winners making it easier and more acceptable when we go astray Questions preside if those with a constant sneer have lost all their cheer,leaving some to wonder what it is all about Some must try harder each day finding new strength to play ,while others don't bother never seeming to slip into the grey Which will it be often a constant plea, many inline to fix it for a fee,finding our own balance carries the most clout Easy smile when as light as a child ,more weight adding more scowls to our fate ,knowing happiness brings beauty will I now be slower to become evils prey.

LEAVE ME MY SMILE Over time many have told me a different way,their visions of a new day seemed to have gone astray All the while resting in the back of mind were just basic thoughts of how to be kind Simplest things can bring us to task ,bliss is last, now forcing our happiness to go away Bringing back a grin often brings on more pain, well worth the toll when it is found Ceaseless game of bad or good trying to force us to take sides,will we give in today Fresh faced within flowing morning air,breathing inward,stopped short,gloom suddenly formed as a cloud People paying more attention to whiners than winners making it easier and more acceptable when we go astray Questions preside if those with a constant sneer have lost all their cheer,leaving some to wonder what it is all about Some must try harder each day finding new strength to play ,while others don't bother never seeming to slip into the grey Which will it be often a constant plea, many inline to fix it for a fee,finding our own balance carries the most clout Easy smile when as light as a child ,more weight adding more scowls to our fate ,knowing happiness brings beauty will I now be slower to become evils prey.

Tried to keep it lighter,for some it is effortless ,while others either have to put effort into just finding good in things or block it out on purpose or what becomes habit,I find that interesting and humbling. maybe still the thought of are we hiding something with oursmile? Thanks for reading , Your thoughts are helpful. Rick
