As each day goes by, I try to heave a smile upon my face.

Trying different ways to make space for a place

That will create a better way for the world to resonate.

Some days that smile upon my face is genuine and not fake.

Those are the days that I make it worth the wait.

On the days where that smile upon my face has been glued in place,

I reach deep down, take a deep breath and say,

“It’s going to be a good day today.”

Those heavy days are bleak but soon

This “down” day will be just another day where

I remember that I chose to put that smile upon my face.

Instead of regret, hopelessness, or hate.

I chose to put that smile upon my face.
