smile smile a little smile a little all along the road every life must have its 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 the troubled pilgrims whom you pass and meet frowns are thorns and smiles are blossoms oft for weary feet do not make the way seem harder by a sullen face smile a little smile a little brighten up the place smile upon your undone labour not for one who grieves o'er his task waits wealth or glory he who smiles achieves though you meet with loss and sorrow in the passing years smile a little smile a little even through your tears ella wheeler wilcox aww thank you dear ariel mom phae always lurks in the shadows in case anyone needs help lots of love and thanks for the beautiful flower
