Let's Smile A Little

 Let's smile a little, let's cry a little,
and if life so demands let's die a little.
Let's be frank a little, let's play games a little,
and if truth so demands let's lie a little.

Let's trust a little, let's be on our toes a little,
and if innocence so demands let's be sly a little.
Let's be proud a little, let's be servile a little,
and if virtue so demands let's be vile a little.

Let's hurt a little, let's heal a little,
and if friendship so demands let's say bye a little.
Let's tease a little, let's appease a little,
and if love so demands let's seduce a little.

Let's be mild a little, let's go wild a little,
and if maturity so demands let's be child a little.
Let's shatter illusions a little, let's aim for sky a little,
and if pragmatism so demands let's dare to fly a little.

Let's make others smile a little, let's make others cry a little,
and if conscience so demands let's earn guile a little.
