Raise your head and Smile!

When someone comes by you,
With a comment out of blue,
Tears come in your eyes,
Yet, Raise your head and smile.

When you hear people say,
Others are success while yours.
Is still a Question mark?
Yet, Raise your head and smile.

When you can’t dress as well as them,
Or can’t speak as well as them,
Or can’t do as well as them,
Yet, Raise your head and smile.

When you are trying,
Every single day,
Still not able to do things exactly required,
Yet, Raise your head and smile.

When food comes on your plate,
You might not like it at all,
Some leaves & vegetables set,
Yet, Raise your head and smile.

If you won’t this beautiful life,
Would become bitter,
And often you would cry alone,
Until you learn to Raise your head and Smile!
