Challenge You

Challenge You

I challenge you to smile
To live a joyous life
To find the best in everything
More than exist, to truly live
I challenge you today
Tomorrow, every day
To find the silver lining
No whining, crying, pining
For what was or could have been
What maybe will or should happen
I challenge you right now
To understand just how
God wants to see you move through life
Jump each hurdle, sail through strife
Bear the burden, ball and chain
Handle stress, deal with pain
I challenge you, my friend
To know that in the end
The best is always yet to come
No time to waste coming undone
Cry your tears, then dry your eyes
Stand tall, get on with living life
I challenge you to smile
And live the joyous life
Start now
God's watching…
Smile
