Bit by bit life grows <br />Its feathers as dark as hell’s crows! <br />Its thorns pierce and stab <br />We all... hunting for a healing tab.. <br />But please, help me smile <br />…For a sad face will bring me death! <br /> <br />Placed on my back is a heavy burden <br />Boiling in my mind is a pool of confusion <br />And caressing my soul is unknown identity. <br />But please, help me smile <br />For a smile might open my eyes… <br /> <br />The clouds gathering up above <br />Might burst and darken my today.. <br />Thunder’s voice is scary….. <br />Threatening to strike when I least expect. <br />But please, help me smile <br />For a smile might give me strength <br /> <br />Swelling in my eyes are rivers of pain <br />I’ve toiled all day with no tangible gain <br />I'm orphaned, despised, a victim of AIDS <br />I am dejected, homeless, no help, no aids… <br />But please, help me smile <br />For a smile might bring me hope… <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright©2009 Meshack sewe <br /> <br /> <br />......Inspired by an online friend's face-book post after she visited needy children.....and how important it is to make a sad face smile....when you think you're helpless with nothing material to offer suffering souls, well, don't worry...just try to make them smile.......it will make a big difference in their lives.....<br /><br />Meshack Sewe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/help-me-smile/
