It’s easy to be pleasant
When life flows by like a song.
But the man worthwhile
is the one who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with years.
And the smile that is worth
the praises of earth
Is the smile that shines through the tears.

I just pick these out of the book randomly, and this one was something I needed to be reminded of too. This is a beautiful place to be. So luck to be able to enjoy, and call it my hometown.
