We Smile Still

though the rain forgets to pour

the stars we wish upon find forest floor

we smile still

-

though the memories of loved ones fade

the photographs of time remain

we smile still

-

though the thunder roars

in sync with men who cry for war

we smile still

-

though the gloom hangs over

like fog on an autumn road

we smile still

-

though hope is thin

we pray love will win

and we smile still

------------------------------AUTHOR'S NOTE-------------------------------------

I know that times are so hard for so many right now - mentally, emotionally, financially. This poem is for you. It's an encouragement to seek the joy and to find moments to smile. They say that laughter is the best medicine, and well, I think smiling is a pretty amazing remedy as well. You never know the difference a single simple smile will make to you, to your family, or to a complete stranger. I hope this poem and this note of love and hope as been a little smile for you.
