One thing about life, it will challenge you
and will later find you out
Throwing it's punches, from everywhere
trying to win the bout
No fighting fair, it's just not there
even the good has it's play
When you try so hard to make things work
something comes to offset your day
But I found an antidote, for life's problems
and that is to smile even when it hurts
For surly it will try to keep you down
therefore, you must be on alert
When the weathers bad, say it's sunny"
if broke just say your rich
When out of work, say you own the building
in whatever it is, find your niche!
Who can best write your life's story
but the one who braved the trail
Rising up each day to face the challenge
and being determined not to fail
When life knocks you can open the door
have no fear of accepting it in
And no matter if raining clear or dark
you have within the will to win
We can give someone a helping hand
give that flower while they are here
And this makes one's life, a little bit better
knowing you helped to being some cheer
