THE SMILING FACE

The smiling face, has lost its place
Been swallowed by the night
And though the dawn, has come and gone
Only darkness follows light

Wasting time, though not a crime
Seems senseless to my mind
But different ways, to different days
Can be so hard to find

Now could it be, that what I see
Is not just thru my eyes
For those of you, who know it’s true
And finally realized

Do not fear to lose the battle,
Do not fail to give your all,
In this struggle lies the answer,
Regardless, how it falls.

Just like steel that’s being tempered,
By the water and the flame
You too are shaped and hardened
By your struggle just the same

Do not let thy banner falter,
Do not weaken in your quest,
Do not let the tide of battle
Ever stay you from the test

And He will shine within you
For one truth will always show
We kept the faith my brother
And that’s all we need to know
