Here I go again I say
Writing another poem today
But this poem is different and true
Cause this is gonna be for you
You look so sad today and I’m not sure why
But I sure hope you do not cry
You know you really should be glad
Things are not really all that bad
You could have been born with just one arm
Or born a pig up on a farm
So don’t just sit there looking glum
People are gonna think you are dumb
Now I know this didn’t start out right
But lets be friends and try not to fight
You have got lots to be thankful for
So quit trying to close the door
That is all I am going to say to you
So come on get happy
Don’t be blue!
SMILE

Note: Found in the “lost writings”. Written to Sharon Wood in order to try
to cheer her up on a bad day. There was a very large
“smiley-face” across the page.
