Try to smile once more
  Loss is the abstraction I can not perceive
  As for the cause, I was matured to it in ignorance
  I know the  true foundation of the discussion is sentiment
  And as to my foundation of the matter, is lax, to say the least
  For my exposure is simple concept of emotion
  And to speak of it does it great injustice
  To speak of hunger
  Listen to a man who has infrequent meals
  To speak of loss
  Listen to a woman in grief
  To speak of war
  Listen to the children in the cross hair
  To speak of time
  Listen to the elderly in old chairs
  For regardless the manner of care of words
  Does the aspect any justice if not graved into in depth understanding
  The foundation of language is expression
  And the foundation of art is emotion
  And as I am bonded by mortal time on earth
  And I lack the time to indulge in the manner in appropriate degree
  So instead I say, I may not see the world you do now
  Nor may I speak out of empathy in my protective world
  But I wish to offer my hand and a smile to let you know
  Regardless of how you may hurt right now
  I can still say there is more to the world
  To find once more that aspect of life of marvel
  I know nothing can replace what has been lost,
  but if they cared for you
  They too would wish you to smile once more
  You can see that eternal seclusion does the spirit poison
  For only so long can we stay in such frame of mind
  So take hand in hand in this world to pick you up once more
  Remember that which had fell
  But never falter due past for there is more to live by
  And try to smile once more
