SMILE ALL THE TIME.
SMILE ALL THE TIME.
You feel dejected! Why? You've failed a test?
What does that mean, compared with loss of life?
As long as you have breath that moves and heaves,
let all the people hear your loudest laugh.
You've failed a test! You can that class repeat.
Perhaps, a new colleague will bring you luck.
The earth is turning round. That makes life great.
The problem is to stop and bring you wreck.
Let your most grateful smile thank God for life
as when you are alive, you'll mend the wrong
however big it is, you can correct.
If not set right, cheer up if you are strong.
The Lord wants you to have great trust in Him.
He can create the good from what seems bad.
Not all His ways are shown and made so clear.
Just place your trust in Him. He is your Dad.
