And I smile . . .

There are those days when no matter what you do, it seems to be the wrong thing.

And I smile . . .

There are those days when folks just seem extra ordinarily angry and super easily upset.

And I smile . . .

There are those days when you're late no matter how well you prepare yourself.

And I smile . . .

There are those days when all life's curve balls seem to be thrown at you.

And I smile . . .

There are those days when all the bad news seems to be about you or folks you know.

And I smile . . .

For I know that I can endure any storm, face any foe, combat any confrontation, persist through any pressures, and triumph over any tribulation.

My strength is mine to draw on and I am as strong as I'll ever need to be . . .

And I smile.
