Smile The While

If you fear your losing in life's hard race, smile!
Why trouble others with bootless cries?
How much better to cheer up and rise!
Will wishing for the moon suffice?

Though your heart is aching for something you've lost, smile!
Then joy to others you'll give,
People will love you while you live,
And give you back what they receive.

Though your soul is daily pining for things to be, smile!
For life isn't made for sighing,
Minutes not made for weeping,
But to raise someone from falling.
