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. 

So when friends have sadness on their face 
And troubles round them piled,
The world will seem a better place 
And all because you smiled.
