Smile, when the world says cry!
Smile, when your life says try.
Smile, when the heart says over!
Smile, when your mind says never .
Smile, when you lose a friend;
None of us are meant forever!

Smile, when the baby cries!
Smile, when your birthday lies.
Smile, when your wealth drains glory!
Smile, when your health says sorry.
Smile, when you feel like lonely;
None of us are perfect like God!

Smile, when the rain comes late!
Smile, when your lover leaves fate.
Smile, when your girl cheats early!
Smile, when you learn that a bit quickly .
Smile, when your dreams are dashed;
None of us are distilled water!

Smile, when the wind never blows!
Smile, when your worth never grows.
Smile, when your struggles all fail!
Smile, when your victories sail.
Smile, when your time never comes;
None of us can predict the never.

Yet 'Smile' is the easy word,
Only to a photographer!
