Untitled

By Molly

You must smile every second as you make it through your day.
If you follow your goals your heart will light the way.
It doesn't take a millionaire or a movie star to live your life with pride,
It only takes a confident person who won't rush away and hide.
Sometimes it might take quite an effort to get where you want to be.
Yet in the end it will sure be worth it, you just wait and see.
You might fail a couple times and make a few mistakes,
But out weighing all those errors are the accomplishments that you make.
So the next time when you fail a test or lose a soccer game,
Don't ponder on your disappointment or say that you are lame.
For if you're always happy and capture the special moments of each day,
You will stay with your dreams instead of letting them float away.
