Today I Smile Poem by Jody Britoe

Today I see no reason for crying
Even though i feel like a skater
On a thin ice line
I’m keep my head up
And continue to smile

Because this morning i awoke with happiness inside
Feels good to still breathe
Thank god I’m alive
Today I smile...
Cause even though i receive minimal
With love I’m not deprived

And i can smile
Cause sometimes love causes you pain
But that what keeps us sane
It’s the balance to this game

I’M SMILING
With no reason to complain
For I just realized
It increases the pain
So if I smile
Things will change

So I’m wiping my eyes
Just for today
If it’s the last thing I do
I’m going to smile
