I Choose To Smile (Inspiration)

Today and everyday I choose to smile. I choose to smile no matter what. I choose to embrace Both Light and shadow Joy and sorrow. Ache may agonise my heart But I would smile. Sorrow may shadow my soul But I would smile. I am free to smile no matter what. Age may rob my health Fate may rob my wealth But who can rob smile of my soul? Who can rob this dawn and dusk Sky river and air of this earth? Things I need to smile They are already there Both within me and outside me. I must wake up to them And claim them. And I claim them. I claim them now. I am born to smile So I must smile no matter what. © Arun Maji Painting: Eugene De Blaas
