The smiles and the laughter, the giggles and the cheer
Have been a hallmark of your life for each and every year
The joy and love you you’ve given and shared along the way
Have left the others wondering how you do it everyday
A life so full of gratitude and love beyond compare
Have changed the lives of many with each person that you share
Yet there are few who truly understand or comprehend the choice
To hide your pain and anguish behind your tender voice
For each new day you choose to live, regardless of your lot
The heavy load that you endure, and the battles you have fought
Your smile was forced now natural, a gift for all to see
Your daily choice in life has determined what you’ll be
Someone who spreads the laughter, the cheer and joy around
Who overcomes each challenge with the love of life you’ve found
So others see the person in whom you’ve chosen now to be
And from your heavy burdens, this choice has set you free
This is outstanding. Seriously, I want to put this on a card and give it to someone! Excellent!
