A Smile Again
Senior year and you won’t pass
Not college, but summer classBig brother grows up and then moves off
Mom gets tired and starts to coughJust you and dad, but that’s okay
Another morning, another dayIn college soon, for a phd
Then the world to go and seeThe world is tough, as you will learn
Dreams will fade and cease to burnYou’ll marry next, kids on the way
Bills pile up, hairs go graySoon dad will go, then brother, too
You won’t believe you’ve made it throughIt seems too much for you right now
But here you are, some way some howJust hold on tight to friends and kin
And you will start to smile againYour pain will turn to joy because
You’ll learn to love from what you’ve lostVoting is open!
