Smile

When dark clouds surround you
And there’s no sign of the sun,
Smile, it’s going to rain on you.

When thoughts cry out
In the lost alleys of your mind.
Smile and renew your spirit.

When fears of fire
Burn your soul
Smile and pour the water of life.

When the pain of the past
Covers you in shrouds of shadows
Smile and hug the present.

When you’re blinded by light
Close your eyes
Smile, and see with your heart.

When too many voices ring
And you are deafened by chaos
Smile and feel the silence within.

When you are lost
Alone and have nowhere to go
Smile and look to me.
