June's Rhymes
Tears Behind the Smile
No one sees the tears they hide
They keep their pain deep inside
Enduring quietly with a smile
Every put down and every trial
Treated badly with great distain
They conceal their dreadful pain
Walking around with a lovely smile
They're crying inside all the while
Hidden bruises and scars beneath
Sad and lonely, beyond belief
But you won't know, they won't tell
They just say, "I slipped and fell".
They want loving arms that hold
They get words, mean and cold
The smile that greets you today
Is hiding tears from yesterday
They keep their pain deep inside
Enduring quietly with a smile
Every put down and every trial
Treated badly with great distain
They conceal their dreadful pain
Walking around with a lovely smile
They're crying inside all the while
Hidden bruises and scars beneath
Sad and lonely, beyond belief
But you won't know, they won't tell
They just say, "I slipped and fell".
They want loving arms that hold
They get words, mean and cold
The smile that greets you today
Is hiding tears from yesterday
