Keep On Smiling

If at times you feel you want to cry

And life seems such a trial,

Above the clouds, there's a bright blue sky,

So make your tears a smile.

As you travel on life's way

With its many ups and downs,

Remember it's quite true to say

One smile is worth a dozen frowns.

Among the world's expensive things,

A smile is very cheap.

And when you give a smile away,

You get one back to keep.

Happiness comes at times to all,

But sadness comes unbidden,

And sometimes a few tears must fall

Among the laughter hidden.
