Keep smiling when your sun isn't shining
When you feel like you want to cry
Lift up your pain to Jesus
It's one of the reasons he had to die
Keep smiling when life gets tough
It's through the rough times you learn
To lean on Jesus instead of yourself
For some of us it takes years to discern
Keep smiling when a friend lets you down
It's not because they don't care
Look beyond your disappointment
Get on your knees and say a prayer
Keep smiling because God loves you
He wants you to smile not frown
He sent his son Jesus for your joy and strength
Won't you pass the blessing around?

About Me
- Janylee McGlinchy
- I am a Christian woman of God. I was given the gift of a child to raise, and I am thankful for being chosen to be a mother. I am a published author. I write poetry and stories, meditations and reflections. I offer my writing as a gift to the world, though I long for the day that I will be published for royalties. I have three compilations of poetry and stories titled Heartstrings. I have letters published in several newspapers along the East coast. I am passionate about writing. I come from a family of writers in Maine. I am related to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Edna St. Vincent Millay. I write from the heart. I am an old fashioned gal and sentimental lady. The rivers are wide and deep. I work hard at trying to capture the emotions behind my writing. And because I love words ardently, as Emily Dickinson did, I have wept over my own writing. I am a romantic poet and I still believe in the fairy tale romance. I am also passionate about helping the poor and needy. I can often be found ministering to the homeless. And if I had only two coins, I would give them away, because it is greater to give than to receive.
