Blessed

Blessed is he who keeps smiling,
when his heart is full of grief.
Who still believes in tomorrow,
when life may seem so brief.

Blessed is he who lights a candle,
when it's too dark to see.
Who finds hope everywhere,
for every lock, a key.

Blessed is he who falls in love,
like he'll never get hurt.
He knows when the day tastes bitter,
love makes the best dessert.

Blessed is he who sees beauty all around,
in a laughing child, a singing bird, or a tree.
Who struggles so hard to stay happy,
when common sense refuses him to be.

He knows it's not easy to hold a tear,
When everything seems so wrong.
He knows life is often unfair,
but to move on, he has to be strong.

He plays "make-believe" to pass the time,
imagining life a movie, its ending can't be guessed.
But he knows God is there for him.
And whosoever believes in God, shall always be Blessed.
