Smile till you can't no more
Life, it has its joys
Each road has its ups and downs
We find and lose our toys
We play out in our orbits, wheels
We lose things as we bleed
We gain things as we forfeit, heal
… retain the things we need
With wants thrown out, with windows down
Discarded by life's road
Out takes from a slide show wound
Scenes cut from episodes
Whilst other acts are neatly trimmed
Preserved in albums, stored
Alters worshiped, rarely dimmed
Reserved, loved and adored
Flickering by candles light
If lucky, it is shared
Bathed in, nurtured, forged by night
and in the darkness cared
Cared for as the wick burns through
The wax we bring to bear
Smile till you can't... flame true
... for you I will be there
