'Smile' Poem by DeJota Barajas

Ill say I'm tryin' to tough it out
you'll say I'm actin out
Persistence is my motive even tho you strikin' low
Every time I say I'm comin' its always time to go
I mean ya smile brings me happiness but ya frown brings me down
I give you my hand in hopes that you'll take it now
but it seems like your truly scared of what might be
Life is such a gamble, maybe its time to see...

If I die TODAY will you remember me,
I hope you don't because even while I'M GONE,
For a second or a while I'd only want you to SMILE
