Smile and be Happy

Smile
as long as you can
Shed a tear
that also of joy
O woman
O man

life is full
of endless pains
why add more
for no purpose
nor gains

love life
as it comes along
live each day happily
as long as to this Earth
we all belong

live a life
full of happiness
sing a sweet song

humour is life GEE
gay is just a mile stone in life
which way for whom
heaven and only he knows

be happy
I like you frankness

this would really make a nice song. It looks easy, but it isn't. the words fits.
I'd try to find someone to put it to music.
Not me, Alas!

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance
