I'm not gonna write a sad poem <br />I'm not gonna dwell in the debris <br />Of my dejection <br />But I'm gonna subject this burning urge <br />To cry to purgery and rejection <br />And find a way to locate within myself <br />A reason to smile <br /> <br />Dispondacy has no place <br />In my room of jubilation <br />For within myself lies in slumber <br />A surviver of gloom and tribulations <br />And as I wake him up <br />I'll find in his strength <br />A reason to smile <br /> <br />I am him a child of God <br />And in Him I find comfort <br />Well not in my eyes tears <br />I charge you <br />Weigh off my soul depletion <br />I command you <br />For I am the authority of my joy <br />I am in myself a reason to smile<br /><br />BiggRich Shuping<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-reason-to-smile-3/
