And still I smile (2)

By *****Junior Walker*****

The struggle started As soon As I left the womb And it won’t stop until I’m in the ground, But I still manage to smile Cause I’m thankful I’m Still living. How many more funerals do I have to go to, How many more sirens Will I hear tomorrow? Its getting harder And harder to find A family still together, And still I smile Because while I’m still alive There’s still hope. And don’t tell me turn The other cheek Cause that’s the one That I got boxed in last week. The smile is the sign that My heart hasn’t turned cold A Babies cries still mean something, And to my brother in prison See you when you get out, If not, when they shut me in. One thing for sure, when when you see me I’ll be smiling; Smiling through all the pain, Smiling through all the stress, And while you’re reading this know, Right now I’m smiling.
