You brought me love with your smile
bright, laughing, loving.
Now it’s my turn.
The person I once knew, once loved
sad, depressed, hopeless
Smile for me.
Say the words you always said,
"don’t frown, for I know someone who is in love with your smile.”
The endless moments of cheer and friendship,
Remember those times?
Smile dear friend
there is me and you and some fun to have.
No longer hide in your shadows.
What happened to your radiant look?
Smile for me, even if you can no longer love.
Just once?

Life&#039;s not about how hard you can hit; it&#039;s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. That&#039;s how winning is done.
