So smile
By Ana Nieto
Yes, I’ve felt my eyes like drowning
And I’ve felt I can’t no more,
Yes, I’ve felt mi face like frowning
Yet I tell myself again
What I’ve been fighting for…
And so I smile….
Something inside me floods me with sadness,
Such a madness that wants to blow above;
And over and over I say: no one understands,
But this something
Can only be cured with love….
And so I smile….
So I keep living
And I say to myself: Yes you can!!
Happiness is all I’ve been giving
When inside I’ve felt I can’t…
And even so… I smile….
“Never give up” said someone too
But when you feel like falling
Nothing will do,
The only thing that keeps you standing
Is when someone says: “I love you”…
And so I smile….
So I looked up to the sky
And stopped asking God why,
I knew this sorrow would last a while
Yet God made me smile.
And there I stood
And God made me realize,
Yes, I understood
Why God gave me no better gift
That the most beautiful gift…. of Life….
So smile!!
Dedicated especially for Ann and Charles Boles.
