Smile

Smile
tho’
your heart is aching,
Smile
Even though its breaking,
Wgen there are clouds in the sky- You’ll get by,
If you
Smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through- For you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide ev’ry trace of sadness,
Altho’ a tear may be ever so near,
That’s the time you must keep on trying,
Smile- What’s the use of crying,
You’ll find that life is still worh while,
If you just smile.

Like many people out there, I was watching the Michael Jackson Memorial while I was at work. One song that stood out to me was “Smile” sung by Michael’s brother Jermaine Jackson.

I have always liked this song. Something that I didn’t know about this song was that Charlie Chaplin composed the music in 1936. I remember hearing that sone every year on the annual “Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon” as the telethon’s theme.

Regardless of what you thought of Michael Jackson, what he did as an entertainer will never be seen again.

Michael Jackson – The King of Pop!

Michael Jackson – Like many others, I was shocked to hear that Michael Jackson died. I can’t say I was a big fan, but I certainly used to be back in the 90s. Michael Jackson represents a great childhood memory for me; I grew up listening to his music and watching his videos (especially thriller which I watched repeatedly). I even had a poster and a calendar of Michael in my room. It’s funny how my personal memory of Michael Jackson is exactly what’s been played out in his official web site. It is all about memories from Michael Jackson, fed by his fans all over the world. If you had had to choose just one Michael Jackson song to take with you on a deserted island, which one would it be? Mine is below.
