Smile!

Smile,
not because you fell,
but because you can rise,
just smile.

Smile,
not because you failed,
but because you can try again,
just smile.

Smile,
not because it ended,
but because it happened,
just smile.

Smile,
not because he is dead,
but because he ever lived,
just smile.

Smile,
not because you are not being loved,
but because you can still love,
just smile.

Smile,
not because you are alone,
but because you are with yourself,
just smile.

Smile,
not because you can't trust anyone,
but because you can be trusted by everyone,
just smile.

Smile,
not because you are hurt,
but because your wounds can heal,
just smile.

Smile,
not because you are sad,
but because you can be happy,
just smile.

Smile,
not because i am asking you to smile,
but because you can smile a beautiful smile,
just smile.
