Keeping the smile,
making the long mile,
staying strong and positive,
instead of weak and negative.

Hardest job I ever had in my life,
other than being married to my wife.
Life is a itch as they say,
it will kick your behind almost each and everyday,
in each and every way,
if you allow it to have the final say.

Some ask,
"how is it that you're always smiling?"
I respond, "who said I was smiling,
because my face is fixed in a smiling way,
doesn't mean  my heart and soul match its play."
There are times when I'm feeling like sh-t,
but I refuse to give into it.
I keep my outer disposition up,
so that my heart and soul won't fall corrupt.

The world is merely a stage,
and we are all merely actors in its cage.
You can choose to act like you feel,
or act the way you want to feel,
to me it's overcome, adapt and improvise,
instead of falling for lifes no compromise.

Life won't deal at all,
if you are weak to fall,
easy to give in,
and won't even attempt to win.

Choice!
