Reason To Smile

Life can seem so desperately hard

It can seem so difficult to move forward

To make your way can seem such a mission

The effort to survive like a war of attrition

Running so fast every day just to stand still

Sometimes you're asked to swallow the bitter pill

But when you feel that it's all getting too much

Think of your loved one and their sweet touch

For then the effort s can seem worthwhile

On your face will appear a beaming smile

For they are the reason you put up with it all

They are the reason you stand and not fall !
