I Understand

I understand

That there's suffering;

I understand

That there's pain.

All you see is my smile,

Shining bright, as a false front

For all the woe

In know, is in the world today.

I understand

What you're going through;

I'm not that naïve,

I do believe.

Can't you understand,

That my smile, is not my reflection?

It is only for you,

Do you now see?

My smile's purpose

Is to lift you up.

My cheerful face

Is to brighten your day.

So learn from my example,

Smile today.

Maybe, if you're lucky,

You'll brighten someone else's day.
