If the spoon that fed you wasn't silver Neither was your cradle decked with gold And dry were your breads, without butter Smile, life holds riches untold
If your yesterday was raised in gutter Your story, you feel shame to tell Today even, isn't so much better Smile, tomorrow shall be well
If you feel ashamed of who you are And can't find purpose in your reality You may not have to look too far Just smile, and rule your destiny
If you ever feel like a loser Like the whole world's left you behind Take a break, and look closer And smile at the little wins you'd find
If it was by might or by power What then is 'Time and Chance?' Put your effort into every hour And smile, no matter the circumstance.
If it seems to take forever For your dreams to come true Keep at it, don't pull over And smile, let nothing deter you
All these 'ifs' are for you to remember That God still open doors If you do not sleep nor slumber Smile, tomorrow is yours!
I have always wondered why life play out in ways that beat logic most of the time. One can be totally down and out with all the odds against him. But in a blink of an eye, everything turn around and he's up there doing great. Sometimes, we may strongly believe it's because of our effort. But I tell you, I have seen people favored, and it wasn't their effort. This is not to say that they were lazy all through. Laziness and idleness is not part of this equation. Believe that God sees your efforts. Even when you feel discouraged, hang on in there, it's the only chance you got— your time will come. Believe!
