Grateful Smile Poem by Barry Middleton

for all my frivolity
no one knows my heart

people come and go in life
so many play a part

I'd like to thank you everyone
I am not in denial

no lemonade from lemons here
this is my roughest trial

still I am quite positive
I know it's hard to believe

I've still got a trick or two
and something up my sleeve

I'm not afraid of what's ahead
I am not mad or low

I guess I'll see how it turns out
I want you all to know

I am OK but do not stray
just walk with me this mile

knowing you are there for me
brings my grateful smile
