Face Forward and Smile
~~~~~
she shines on days of new
digests yesterday’s pain
and breathes deeply
~~~
time and again
clouds of storm
flood life’s floor
~~~
without shine
and bruised rainbows
too heavy to continue
~~~
until light blinding
over new day
smiles from broken one
~~~
she shines on days of new
she digests yesterday’s pain
and breathes deeply.
~~~~~
Face Forward and Smile.

A Beer

A smile, big smile
Let's keep it for a while
Look forward, straightforward
It's me your friend the LORD

We'll sing and dance
Spark up a little romance
A beer, two beers
My shoulder absorbs your tears

Three beers, a fourth
Bring the keg of course
We'll talk we'll laugh
We'll start to drink the draft

Now were drunk "llett'ss cuuddllee"
"SspiitFiire heelpp mmee II'mmm sseeinngg ddoouubbllee"
You're holding me up
"Bbutt II'mm ssupposse tooo bbee hhooldding….Hic-up!"
We leave the bar
You don't live too far
"Heerre's aa twweentty ttaakkee tthaatt ttaxii ccarr"
"Taalkke tto yya llatterr bbutt nnot too faarr"

We are both home safely from the bar

I wrote "No Thoroughfare!!"
But love came laughing by and
Cried "I enter everywhere!!!"

Thats the best we can do, file away the pain and start fresh. Great poem, as always. Sounds like things are a bit better today. Hope so.

I like the repetition on this one: very effective. And keep up that smile, it's the same one we all need in those bad patches!  
GrrreAt poem as usual!

Forward is the only way to go, and if you do it with a smile all the better.  

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown

"Face forward and smile".  Now, hold that pose...steady, steady.  There!! Got it.  Now no one will ever see the pain behind the picture.  Great stuff here, SF.  Hardrock
