Gone With A Smile Poem by Shirley Harrison

I'm a song writer lost

within my own life lyrics

every time I try to write

I hear inside my mind all the critics



I don't want to fail

life's dream in my hands

I don't want to fail

my soul and spirit is my band



maybe one day I'll shine?

maybe one day I'll be noticed?

until that day comes

got to keep myself focused



I don't want to fail

life's dream in my hands

I don't want to fail

my soul and spirit is my band



when day turns to night

paper ripped on floor

the waste paper basket

it won't need no more



I don't want to fail

life's dream in my hands

I don't want to fail

my soul and spirit is my band



I'll never give up

I'll fight till the end

my song will be written

and my mind then will rest



I don't want to fail

life's dream in my hands

I don't want to fail

my soul and spirit is my band



If you listening to this

my soul and spirit has won

since the day I was born

my journey begun



I'm a song writer lost

but now I am found

from the ashes I rose

to fulfill my life's plan

so listen to my story

listen to my song

listen to my spirit



one day I'll be gone



one day I'll be gone



with a smile



with a smile



one day I'll be gone

I'll be gone with a smile.
