"Yet God has made everything BEAUTIFUL for its own time. He has planted ETERNITY in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end." -Ecclesiastes 3:11

Smile,
Even though your world is breaking.
Smile,
Even when you can't go no more.
Smile,
Even though you are crying.
Smile,
Even when you feel hopeless.
Smile,
And the world gets a little better.
Smile,
And you feel the weigh lifted.
Smile,
And you will be happy again,
If you just smile.
