Smile

Since last December, it seems that our family has been heaped with one trial after another. There are days when it's hard to find something to smile about until I read this beautiful song from Charlie Chaplin:

Smile,
though your heart is aching
Smile,
even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
you'll get by
If you smile
through your fear and sorrow
Smile
and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
for you
Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile
what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just

Smile

And then you're reminded that no matter what you're going through....there is always something to smile about.
