Smile through the Pain


Tears fall
But with a beam across your face;
You feel fortunate
To have been dealt such pain

Still just a person so small
But with large dreams to remain
It's like a high you cannot explain
To be able to smile
Through the pain

There were days
You did not think you would make it
But angels rested by your side

You lie awake and reminisce;
You count the times you've fallen down
And then you realize what you have accomplished
And smile through the pain

You know now that you have to crawl
Before you are able to climb
And that the dirt road you stumbled on
Has paved you a fresh highway

If ever you fall down again
Just be sure to fall forward
And never be ashamed
To smile through the pain

Now if ever in your sunshine,
It shall begin to rain
Just smile, my friend                    
Smile through the pain
