When you’re smilin’…keep on smilin’
The whole world smiles with you
And when you’re laughin’…keep on laughin’
The sun comes shinin’ through
Solitude
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air;
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
…
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all,—
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life’s gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
Nice portrayal of “Smilin’ Joe” Biden. I hope and wish that he is successful in bringing about SOME unity among the US factions.
Nicely done ♥♥
The World is SMILING from Sea to Shining Sea . . . .SEE !
the Emerites will regret this.
Looks like U.A.E. wants to retain the deal for the F35 fighter jets.
