Its damn hard to keep a grin,

When the world around you is fallin’ in,

But if you can do so, you will find,

You won’t need any sight of the hind…J

If you smile into the faces of the jerks,

This will sometimes of their problems work,

You will feel better in the end,

That you did not, at least in words, anybody offend…J

Just a slight grin is all you need,

Not a full smile will it take for others to you heed,

After all you are not trying to make trouble or otherwise mislead,

You are for yourself feeling better inside,

While through this sometimes rough world you do proceed…J
