Life is short, smile while you still have teeth. Be happy, not because everything is good, But because you can always find the good side of everything. Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It simply means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.
Using up shoe leather
Walking round the city
Your father never did tell you
That you are pretty
But I do
Walking of their own accord
My lonely swollen feet
Protest in hushed voices
Until they end up finding your street
Your mother never did tell you
That you are a good girl
But I will
Throwing pebbles at your window
I’ll keep it up all night
Until your face does show
And you’ll laugh at me
Dancing in the gutter
With streetlights to accompany
Your friends never did tell you
That you are perfect
But I shall
