Put on a smile

Submitted by Simbo on October 16th, 2015

What do I care if there's cold in the air?
I can still have the fun I desire
I can sing a few tunes and dance round the room
And warm up my feet by the fire
 
And if there is rain, I'll be happy again
For the rain won't put me in a muddle
For a childish heart always knows where to start
And it starts by just jumping in puddles
 
Or if I drop plates, and crockery breaks
It will never put me in a mood
I can eat off the table, as well as I'm able
There's always delight in my food
 
Now if I feel ill, I'll be happy still
Especially if I feel quite sneezy
"You should feed a cold", My Ma always told
So I feed up with pies, mash and gravy
 
And if I meet folk, who just rudely croak
I just smile and I turn right away
For folk who just moan are best left alone
I ignore and get on with my day
 
But if I'm alone, I won't sit and groan
I can find some escape in a book
There's always a story, of heroes and glory
And adventures wherever I look
 
For when things go bad, I can always stay glad
I can find my own joy all the while
So through wind and through rain, and through hurt and through pain
It costs nothing to put on a smile
