Smiles

Smiles
Smile little, smile a little,
| As you go along,
Not alone when life is pleasant,
| But when things go wrong.
Care delights to see you frowning,
Loves to hear you sigh;
Turn a smiling face upon her
Quick the dame will fly.
Smile little, smile little,
All along the road;
/ Every life must have it's burden,
Every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness
With your grief to sup?
AS you drink fate's bitter tonic,
Smile across the cup.
Smile upon your undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
Ger his task waits wealth or glory:
He who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and sorrow
In the passing years,
Smile little, smile little,
Even through your tears.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
