Chin Up


Chin up, smile on
I start each day this way
The sky is blue, the sun is hot
I dream of you when you're away
Laundry's done, dinner too
My mind wanders, always missing you!
Kids are fussing, what else is new.
Telephone rings….is it you~~?
It's like oh my God, have I lost my wits.
No, Life is grand, TGIF, payday too!
You say to me, “You know I've got to work and that means being gone.”
So, chin up, smile on
I start each day this way
When I open my eyes and see your face
I feel Gods' glory and his grace!
It's off to work, with a kiss and a hug.
Of course hot coffee in my mug.
It's the little things, which mean so much
The sideways glance, the special touch
Chills that raise when you're near
Turning to heat, feeling no fear
You say to me, “It's about that time”, and then you're gone.
So it's chin up, smile on
I start each day this way
