Smile when this world frowns at you
Smile when your Goliaths taunt you
Smile when for a battle you’re teased
Smile at them for you’re a man of peace
Smile when victuals aren’t yet on the table
Smile when a Samaritan isn’t available
Smile when friends become chameleons
Smile when your aloneness seems eons
Smile when lack handcuffs your wishes
Smile when all rivers reject your fishes
Smile when sky seems barren of rain
Smile when watery cans wet you pain
Oh! Smile, smile, smile, smile, smile:
Why will you cry all day long and die?
Put on a smile daily, and win the strife,
For nothing in the world worth a life!
