Always A Reason to Smile
February 8, 2016
I speak for the poor
who struggle everyday to make ends meat
I speak for the hungry
Who don't know where their next meal is coming from
I speak for the lonely
Who cry themselves to sleep
I speak for you
You have a purpose
If you believe
You can accomplish anything
You have a voice
That you shouldn't let be drowned out
By other peoples opinions
You have dreams
That you should never give up on
until they are achieved
You have a life
Full of honor, love, and respect
No matter what happens
You have a reason to smile

I came up with the idea for this piece while i was riding the bus, and we passed the town soup kitchen, which is where many of the homeless people go for food. It made think how no matter what is going on peoles life something can always make them smile. For instance the soup kitchen might make the homeless smile because they feel safe, and loved there.
