A Smile Or A Frown?

When the rain drenches me,
Or I lose the game,
The world won't change,
It will be the same—
Except for the smile
Or the frown that I add;
Will I dance in the rain,
Or get stuck in the sad?

I can paint with colours
Or wallow in gray;
A frown hangs around
And will block the way
Of the love that grows,
Or the sparkle that's born,
When I share a smile
As I start each morn;

So, It's up to me,
When it all comes down,
The choice is mine—
Will I smile or frown?
