She Wears A Smile

No one knows about the tears
That continue to flow inside
She wears a smile on her face
So others don't know she cries

It has taken too many years
To get to where she is at
Being able to hide the fear, and
The pain that seems to last

At times she feels as if she's drowning
From all the tears held deep within
A tiny little teardrop sometimes falls
When she remembers way back then

Then, she starts to wonder where
All the love had gone to?
Or, if what he had once given her
Was even ever true?

She wiped the tears from her eyes
Putting on a great big smile
As she hides all the fear and the pain
At least for a little while

Your smiling face certainly hides a lot of pain. A lesser rose would have wilted and shriveled up. Keep smiling and that pain will fade with time. It usually does, sweetie.

Love 'n hugs,

Love hurts, sad to say but true isn't it
Hope your smiles eclipse the tears in time.

Yes, dear Sue, you say it beautifully. Every now and then the questions arise and bring melancholic thoughts. But you are equipped with great strength and you know that you are able to move ahead on your path of life, knowing that you are not alone. A smile from deep inner awareness comes to your rescue.

This is really the best conclusion, I love your thoughts.

Beautiful!

Love and hugs.
