We Tend

With ins and outs of what is wrought
We tend to bend our every thought
Some good, some bad, some very sad
And some we wish that we had had.

We wick a candles no return
We kick the dust of what we learn
And few can guide you by the hand
Unless you really understand

There are some primal laws we face
Regardless of our time and place
These we do as best we can
The rest will surely hit the fan

So whistle a tune and be of cheer
If nothing else, will help your peer
In helping them you help yourself
So do not sit upon a shelf.

Smile and the world smiles with you
Frown and they’ll disregard you.

I once had a lady
tell me I smiled too much...
probably because she was being ignored
by her own frowns.

So true, so true.
Thank you, Sy.

'Cause when you're smilin..
the whole world smiles with you.'
Sy, you're words this morn made me think of that old song.
And a very happy good morning to you poet sir!
Loved this morning's pearls of wisdom.

=======================================

I see me sweet Sy-guy is serving up wisdom rice with a side of poetic smiles this morn.
You can guide me by the hand...I'd follow you anywhere.
and groovy ole Randy? me thinks he knows all about what hits that fan. LOL

So true, Seymour......smile and the world smiles with you

And the other is true, too....when we frown, some people do disregard us.

That's why I try to keep on a happy face all the time....even when I don't feel like it.
You are so wise, my friend.  Thank you.  
Hugs

I love every line of this, my friend... even if I have butted my head against more than a few brick walls along the way... and set myself up for being disregarded by wearing a frown. *S* You wrote wisdom wonderfully. *S*
