http://www.ilos.net/~rjl/lorraine/ [bodytext] => It’s mighty hard to smile And keep your chin up when you’re down. It’s harder still, when winds blow ill, To laugh and play the clown. But take a tip from me, my friend, And time will prove it’s true, That your neighbor round the corner Is having problems too From the time of Eve and Adam In the garden of the Lord, When they fled in desolation From the Wrath of Gabriel’s sword, Every man has had his troubles And his secret sorrows too, And the only way to face them Is to just keep "Smilin’ Thru’" Oh, this isn’t empty babble From some poor romantic fool, Who has known no griefs or sorrows And has only played the tool; It’s the law of common sense, my friend, So use it for a clue, Both you and your good neighbor Who is having problems too. So when the battle’s hardest, When your shoulders droop and sag, When you’re heart-sick, sore and weary, And your footsteps slowly lag, Just turn and face breast forward, And you’ll help your neighbor too If you’ll only lift your chin up, And keep on "Smilin’ Thru’"!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
